Prisma Access Explicit Proxy Connectivity in GlobalProtect for Always-On Internet Security
Learn about using GlobalProtect for explicit proxy in Prisma Access
Prisma Access now supports explicit proxy connectivity for GlobalProtect 6.2.
This protects users with always-on internet security while providing on-demand access to
private apps through a third-party VPN, GlobalProtect with Prisma Access, or an
on-premises NGFW. This capability enables you to:
- Easily replace 3rd-party proxy solutions
- Seamlessly coexist with 3rd-party VPN agents
- Secure internet traffic using browser-based and non-browser-based apps
- Simplify proxy deployments and enforce User-ID-based policy against all traffic
In addition to Tunnel mode, GlobalProtect Explicit Proxy
supports two connectivity methods:
- Proxy Mode
- Tunnel and Proxy Mode
This connection method
enables you to use a 3rd-party VPN agent while still using Prisma Access as a secure web gateway for consistent and
superior internet and SaaS security.
This mode
enables you to secure access to the internet and SaaS applications through proxy
mode and to secure access to private apps through tunnel mode. Whether or not the
GlobalProtect tunnel for private app access is enabled, access to the internet
remains secure through the proxy.
Users can access private apps through Prisma
Access:
Or through an on-premises firewall:
If you don't require support for explicit proxy or 3rd-party VPNs from the
GlobalProtect app, you can continue to deploy GlobalProtect in Tunnel Mode and use
the split tunnel functionality to define what
traffic you want to secure with Prisma Access, and which traffic can bypass the
tunnel.
