Configure the Remote Browser Isolation Policy

Configure the Remote Browser Isolation policy and SSL decryption in Strata Cloud Manager so that Prisma® Access applies isolation to traffic from the NGFW.
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
With the IPSec tunnel established, configure the RBI policy that Prisma Access applies to traffic from the NGFW. RBI requires SSL decryption to inspect and isolate HTTPS traffic — without decryption, RBI does not function for HTTPS sites.
  1. Create a URL Access profile that specifies which categories to isolate.
    1. In Strata Cloud Manager, select ConfigurationNGFW and Prisma AccessSecurity ServicesURL Access ManagementURL Access Management Profiles and click Add Profile.
    2. Enter a name for the profile.
    3. Under Access Control, add the URL categories you want RBI to isolate.
      The recommended categories to isolate are:
      • high-risk
      • hacking
      • phishing
      • newly-registered-domain
      • news
      • sports
      • artificial-intelligence
    4. Select the isolation profile and set the action as isolate.

  2. Configure the RBI infrastructure settings for your tenant.
    1. Select ConfigurationNGFW and Prisma AccessSetupRemote Browser IsolationInfrastructure.
    2. Configure the infrastructure settings that control how the RBI service is provisioned and click Save.
  3. Create a profile group that includes the URL Access profile.

    2. Enter a name for the profile group.
    3. Add your security profiles — Anti-Spyware, Vulnerability Protection, WildFire Analysis, and Antivirus.
    4. For URL Access Profile, select the profile you created in the step 1.
    5. Click Save.
  4. Attach the profile group to the Internet Access Policy for Remote Networks.
    1. Select ConfigurationNGFW and Prisma AccessConfiguration ScopeRemote NetworksSecurity ServicesSecurity Policy.
    2. Edit the existing internet access rule for Remote Networks, or add a pre-rule, and attach the profile group you created in the previous step.
    3. Verify the rule matches traffic from the Remote Networks zone and click Save.
  5. Configure SSL decryption.
    1. Create a Decryption profile.
      1. Select ConfigurationNGFW and Prisma AccessSecurity ServicesDecryptionDecryption Profiles and click + Add Profile.
      2. Configure best-practice SSL Forward Proxy settings, or use the recommended best-practice profile.

  6. Distribute the decryption certificate to endpoints in the branch.
    1. Export both forward-proxy CA certificates from Strata Cloud Manager.
      Select ConfigurationNGFW and Prisma AccessObjectsCertificate Management, select the following certificates, and export it as a .cer file.
      CertificatePurpose
      Forward-Trust-CARe-signs certificates for sites with valid, trusted certificates
      Forward-Trust-CA-ECDSARe-signs certificates for sites using ECDSA certificates
    2. Install both certificates on all endpoints in the branch as trusted root certificates to prevent certificate warnings in the browser.
      To install on Windows endpoints, run PowerShell as administrator and enter the following commands:
      Import-Certificate -FilePath "Forward-Trust-CA.cer" -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
      Import-Certificate -FilePath "Forward-Trust-CA-ECDSA.cer" -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
      For production deployments, distribute both certificates via Group Policy: Computer ConfigurationWindows SettingsSecurity SettingsPublic Key PoliciesTrusted Root Certification Authorities.
  7. Push the RBI configuration.
