In addition to securing mobile users with GlobalProtect, you can configure an Explicit Proxy using Prisma Access. Explicit Proxy uses a PAC file that instructs a web browser to forward traffic to the web proxy server instead of the destination server, and protects your web-based internet (HTTP and HTTPS) traffic.

Prisma Access provides a complete cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWG) capability, including an Explicit Proxy connection method based in the cloud. If you have existing PAC files, you can use them with Prisma to leverage your existing PAC files, simplifying the onboarding experience for customers migrating from legacy proxy-based SWG solutions. You can also use an Explicit Proxy if you need to use a proxy for auditing or compliance purposes.

Over time, you can transition to a more secure connection method in Prisma Access that secures all ports and protocols, not just web-based internet traffic.
