NGFW with Prisma SD-WAN Data Center Integration

Integrate Palo Alto Networks NGFWs with Prisma SD-WAN data centers and Prisma SD-WAN devices at branch locations for advanced security and SD-WAN capabilities into a unified platform.
You can now integrate the Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls with Prisma® SD-WAN at the data centers. This integration enables Prisma SD-WAN devices at branch locations to connect to a unified data center platform. It addresses challenges with traditional networks that rely on separate appliances for security and SD-WAN, that often lead to complexity, inconsistent policies, and limited adaptability to cloud demands, ultimately impacting user experience and productivity.
With SD-WAN capabilities, data centers establish secure tunnels with branch Prisma SD-WAN devices, enabling traffic steering based on SD-WAN policy rules while delivering advanced security features.
This integrated data center solution provides the following benefits:
  • delivers advanced security and SD-WAN capabilities in a single streamlined offering.
  • combines the strengths of Prisma SD-WAN's advanced networking capabilities and PAN-OS's robust security features, delivering a comprehensive and secure SD-WAN solution.
  • ensures uninterrupted connectivity between branch locations and data centers. Traffic is intelligently routed across the WAN, optimizing performance based on application requirements, network conditions, and Security policy rules.
  • Simplifies operations and enhances overall efficiency through a unified platform, Strata Cloud Manager.
Overall, this integration addresses the challenges of network complexity, security integration, performance optimization, and operational efficiency that many enterprises face as they evolve their WANs.
You need the following licenses for integrating Palo Alto Networks NGFW with Prisma SD-WAN data center:
  • Advanced SD-WAN license for the next-generation firewalls
  • Prisma SD-WAN branch subscriptions for the Prisma SD-WAN devices
We support this feature on PA-5440 firewall.
