Palo Alto Networks Unveils Protection for Highly Evasive Threats with Prisma Browser, Extending SASE
Palo Alto Networks,
the global cybersecurity leader, announced Prisma SASE
4.0, the industry's most advanced AI-driven secure access
service edge (SASE) solution. It sets a new standard with innovations in Prisma Browser that neutralize
sophisticated web threats in real-time directly within the browser, where
legacy solutions have critical blind spots. It's designed to intercept and
neutralize encrypted, evasive attacks that assemble inside the browser and
bypass traditional secure web gateways.
The browser is
becoming the new operating system for the enterprise, the primary interface for
AI and cloud applications. Securing it is not optional. As more critical
applications and data reside within the browser, traditional consumer-grade
browsers are no longer sufficient for businesses as they lack the necessary
security controls to protect against the increasing number of cyberattacks.
With Prisma SASE 4.0, Prisma Browser's new in-browser advanced web protection
identifies and neutralizes malware in real-time before it can do harm. This
provides a critical layer of defense that other solutions miss.
In addition, Prisma SASE 4.0 delivers new capabilities designed to secure
the modern workforce, including:
· Unprecedented Data
Security powered by AI: Prisma SASE 4.0
offers a unified, frictionless data security approach, essential for protecting
against the growing risks posed by AI agents, copilots, and plugins directly
accessing corporate data. It uses AI-augmented classification to automatically
and precisely classify sensitive information across all formats, including
unstructured content and data in use – achieving 10x fewer false positives than
traditional methods. It includes over 140 pre-trained machine learning
classifiers and customizable models to secure critical assets like patents,
contracts and source code.
· Smarter, Faster
Protection with Private App Security: Private applications are the engine of many businesses and are
prime targets for cyberattacks. Older static rule-based web application
firewalls (WAF) are simply no match for threats custom-built for dynamic
applications. Palo Alto Networks' new Private App Security automatically adapts
to shield these essential applications and constantly updates security policies
for applications.
Anand Oswal, Executive
Vice President of Network Security, Palo Alto Networks, said, "The conversation with business leaders has
evolved. It's no longer just about blocking threats—it's about enabling growth.
You can't achieve that with a complex and disjointed security stack. The
innovations in Prisma SASE 4.0, particularly our last-mile protections in the
browser, are a direct response to the digital landscape, where AI-driven
attacks and the widespread adoption of AI tools are making traditional security
approaches obsolete. By neutralizing sophisticated threats that evade legacy
solutions and directly target the browser, we are setting a new standard for
security."
Palo Alto Networks
continues to demonstrate market leadership and disruptive innovation in SASE,
with SASE ARR reaching $1.3 billion in fiscal year 2025, growing 35%
year-over-year—more than twice the rate of the overall market. For three
consecutive years, Palo Alto Networks has been named a Leader in the Gartner®
Magic Quadrant™ for SASE Platforms for Prisma SASE. In addition, Palo Alto
Networks has been named a Leader for three consecutive years in the Magic
Quadrant for Security Service Edge, and five times in the Magic Quadrant for
SD-WAN. With over 6,300 SASE customers, including one-third of the Fortune 500,
this single-vendor platform simplifies operations and provides a clear path to
scale, with adoption of the Prisma Browser surpassing 6 million licensed seats.
