Applications are at the core of the Prisma SD-WAN solution. ION devices deployed in the network actively analyze each application flow to ensure that policies for performance, compliance, and security are maintained, and optimum network connections are used for each flow.

The ION device uses application definitions and fingerprinting technologies for path selection, QoS, and firewall policies. Prisma SD-WAN identifies each flow using various techniques such as prefix, port, signature, and SaaS. It leverages this information to build a dynamic application map cache, ensuring an optimal first packet match experience.

System applications are available by default, whereas you can configure custom applications for your enterprise requirements. Prisma SD-WAN supports more than 4000 system or native applications.

You can configure granular policy rules for cloud-based, encrypted, and custom applications to the sub-application level without decrypting the application traffic or without maintaining long IP address lists for cloud-based applications such as Google or Microsoft.

Starting with Release 6.0.1, Prisma SD-WAN supports unified App-IDs to provide application detection services for Prisma SD-WAN and PANW applications. Click ManageResourcesApplications to view system applications from PANW and Prisma SD-WAN along with custom applications in Prisma SD-WAN.
