Prisma Browser includes a browser lock screen feature that adds an extra layer of
security by requiring user authentication when the browser is accessed. When Browser
Lock is enabled, users must either enter a PIN code, authenticate using a Passkey,
or authenticate using their Identity Provider to unlock the browser:
- When the browser is first opened or after the Operating System is unlocked.
- After a configurable period of idle time away from the device.
This feature is especially valuable for unmanaged devices, where device-level
security policies may not be enforced, and for shared devices, where enterprise data
must be protected from unauthorized access by other users of the same system.
Platform Behavior
- Windows and macOS: Idle time is determined using the same system mechanism that the operating system uses to trigger sleep mode.
- Mobile Devices: The feature relies on the device’s native screen lock. PIN length and maximum failed attempts settings are ignored.
The Prisma Browser for Mobile relies on the native
device screen lock, and not the lock that is included in the Prisma Browser
tool. The PIN length and Maximum Failed Attempts will be ignored.
The Authentication method is configured in Browser Security -> Authentication
Factor.
- From Strata Cloud Manager, selectSelect Browser Lock.Select one of the following options:
- Enable - enable the Browser lock.
- Select the Idle time - 1 minute to 12 hours (or never). This is the time that must elapse before the Browser Lock screen appears.
- Disable - the Prisma Access Browser will disable the Browser Lock.
