The Prisma Access Agent, a next-generation mobile access agent built for today's
hybrid workforce, delivers secure and convenient access to both enterprise apps and the
internet, and also simplifies network, IT and security operations for an
organization.
Your end users can use the Prisma Access Agent to securely access your
organization's network, resources within the network, SaaS applications, or the internet
from any location. The Prisma Access Agent enables your users to easily connect to
corporate headquarters, data centers, branch offices, or educational institutions where
Prisma Access is deployed. When they connect to Prisma Access locations
while working from anywhere, they benefit from the same security policies that protect
the sensitive resources in your organization's network.
In addition, the Prisma Access Agent can help secure your endpoints from threats
and malware through Advanced Threat Prevention, Advanced URL Filtering, DNS Security,
Advanced WildFire, and more.
To manage the
Prisma Access Agents that are deployed to mobile users in your
organization,
Prisma Access Agent provides an inventory view () that serves as a single point of control of the agents. There, you can
simplify the
lifecycle management of
the agents, including deployment, configuration, and visibility into the agents for
troubleshooting, remediation, and maintenance.
