Mobile devices used for work often require always-on security, but routing all
traffic through the gateway can introduce latency that impacts application
performance and raises privacy concerns when employees use corporate-owned or
personally-owned devices for personal activities.
Forwarding profiles now extend to iOS,
Android, and ChromeOS devices running Prisma® Access Agent, offering a subset of the
functionality available for desktop devices. You create forwarding rules that match
traffic based on IP address destinations and configure connectivity options to send
traffic through the gateway, direct to destination, or block it. This allows you to
maintain always-on connectivity while excluding specific traffic to address
performance concerns and meet privacy requirements including GDPR compliance. Rules
will be consolidated top-down based on the destination interface to determine the
access route for traffic forwarding.
