Strata Cloud Manager Simplified Navigation Structure
Strata Cloud Manager's improved information architecture provides a more intuitive
navigation experience based on extensive customer feedback and research.
Phased Rollout of Strata Cloud Manager New User Interface
The Strata Cloud Manager new interface will be deployed through a phased rollout
based on regions, beginning September 25, 2025, and continuing through the first
week of October, 2025. Region-specific support will automatically be available as
deployment completes for each region.
Strata Cloud Manager is not available to you to manage your
instances hosted in China or in FedRAMP high regions.
Strata Cloud Manager introduces a new navigation structure designed to
improve user experience and simplify the management of complex network security
infrastructure by organizing options into three key workflow categories: Monitor,
Investigate, and Configure. This simplified approach helps you efficiently manage
and monitor your entire network security ecosystem from a single, unified
interface.
The new navigation design addresses the complexity stemming from the
consolidation of multiple products such as Prisma Access, AIOps for NGFW, ADEM,
Prisma SD-WAN, and CDSS into a single platform. This structure provides unified
insights, consolidated configuration, streamlined workflows, enhanced search, and
consistent access.
