Service Connections

A service connection, also known as a Corporate Access Node (CAN), allows mobile users and users at remote networks access to private apps and resources and lets your mobile users and remote networks communicate with each other. Palo Alto Networks recommends always creating a service connection in your Prisma Access deployment. All service connections allow access to the resources in your HQ or data center, and allow remote networks and mobile users to communicate with each other.
The number of service connections you receive depends on your Prisma Access license. See Prisma Access Service Connections for details about service connections and how to configure them.
In Strata Cloud Manager, select MonitorData CentersService Connections for visibility into your service connections.

ZTNA Connectors

The Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) Connector allows you to connect Prisma Access to your organization's private apps. ZTNA Connector provides mobile users and users at branch locations access to your private apps using an automated secure tunnel. ZTNA Connector sets up the tunnels automatically, so you don’t have to manually set up IPSec tunnels and routing to the data center or headquarters locations, public cloud locations, and partner networks where your private apps are located.
In Strata Cloud Manager, select MonitorData CentersZTNA Connectors for visibility into your ZTNA connectors.
