Remote Browser Isolation for NGFW Users

Extend Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) to branch and data center users by routing NGFW internet traffic through Prisma® Access over an IPSec Remote Networks tunnel.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • NGFW (Managed by PAN-OS or Panorama)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access license with Remote Networks license subscription
  • Remote Browser Isolation license
  • Strata Cloud Manager Pro license
Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) protects branch and data center users whose internet traffic routes through a PAN-OS Next Generation Firewall (NGFW). By establishing an IPSec Remote Networks tunnel from the NGFW to Prisma Access, all internet-bound traffic is routed through Prisma Access for URL filtering, threat prevention, and browser isolation — without installing endpoint agent or reconfiguring existing network IP addresses.
Traffic Flow and Data Path
Traffic flows from branch and data center endpoints enters the NGFW trust interface. The NGFW routes the web traffic through an IKEv2 IPSec tunnel (UDP 500/4500) to the Prisma Access Remote Networks Service Node. Prisma Access applies configured security services, including URL filtering, threat prevention, and Advanced WildFire® inspection. Traffic matching the RBI isolation policy is rendered in a secure cloud browser. The endpoint receives only a graphical rendering of the page, with no HTML, CSS, or JavaScript executing on the device. All other traffic egresses directly to the internet.
To configure this integration, complete the following steps:
  1. Configure a Remote Networks IPSec tunnel in Strata Cloud Manager so that Prisma Access accepts the tunnel from the NGFW.
  2. Configure the NGFW to route internet-bound traffic through the tunnel to Prisma Access.
