workplace security upgraded: with Prisma Access Browser

At Exellyn, delivering and deploying corporate, standardized, and secure workplace devices globally has been part of our core business from day one. You want employees to securely access company apps and data in a controlled environment. That's why we now integrate Prisma Access Browser by Palo Alto Networks (PANW) into its portfolio of workplace security solutions, offering organizations a streamlined way to secure SaaS, web, and private applications on both managed and unmanaged devices. This enterprise-grade browser, natively integrated with Palo Alto’s Prisma SASE platform, addresses the challenges of securing short-term contractors, global teams, and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environments without compromising usability.

what is Prisma Access Browser?

Prisma Access Browser is not just another web browser; it is purpose-built for enterprise security. Unlike consumer browsers, which prioritize speed and user experience, Prisma Access Browser embeds advanced protection mechanisms directly within the browser itself. This ensures that users can access SaaS, web, and private applications securely on any device—whether managed or unmanaged.

key features of Prisma Access Browser

• Zero-trust security model: Prisma Access Browser enforces a zero-trust approach, meaning that every access request is treated as potentially risky until verified. This model ensures that users are granted least-privilege access based on their roles and the context of their requests.
  ‍
• Data loss prevention (DLP): The browser incorporates robust DLP capabilities that monitor data transfers in real time. With over 1,000 classifiers, it can detect sensitive information and block unauthorized transfers between business and personal accounts.
  ‍
• Native integration with SASE: As the only browser natively integrated into a SASE solution, Prisma Access Browser combines secure web gateway (SWG), firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), and zero trust network access (ZTNA) in a single platform. This integration simplifies management and enhances overall security posture.
  ‍
• Cross-platform compatibility: Built on Chromium, the browser supports various operating systems including Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even IoT devices. This versatility allows organizations to maintain security across diverse environments without sacrificing user experience.

why organizations are choosing Prisma Access Browser

1. Secure contractor and BYOD access

Nowadays, remote work is becoming more and more prevalent, so organizations need to adapt quickly to secure access for external partners and contractors.

• Controlled access: With Prisma Access Browser, organizations can implement granular policies that dictate what external partners can access. This ensures that sensitive data remains protected while still allowing necessary collaboration.
  ‍
• BYOD flexibility: The rise of BYOD policies means employees often use personal devices for work tasks. Prisma Access Browser allows organizations to protect these devices without requiring invasive mobile device management (MDM) software that can compromise user privacy.
  ‍
• Phishing protection: The browser includes advanced phishing protection mechanisms that block malicious URLs and JavaScript-based attacks in milliseconds, safeguarding users from common web threats. (This is especially important for small & medium businesses, as they receive 350% more social engineering attacks)
  ‍

2. Cost efficiency

The financial implications of traditional workplace security solutions can be significant:

• 79% lower total cost of ownership (TCO): By utilizing Prisma Access Browser instead of traditional Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), organizations can reduce costs dramatically. This reduction comes from eliminating the need for expensive hardware shipments and ongoing maintenance costs associated with corporate devices.
  ‍
• Significant savings for contractors: Organizations no longer need to ship corporate laptops for short-term roles or contractors. Instead, they can provide secure access through the browser, saving both time and money.
  ‍

3. Advanced threat prevention

Security threats are constantly evolving, necessitating advanced measures to protect sensitive data:

• AI/ML-powered detection: Prisma Access Browser utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect threats in real time. It stops 95% of zero-day threats instantly while providing updates on new signatures in under 10 seconds, resulting in a 99.5% reduction in infected systems.
  ‍
• Remote browser isolation (RBI): For high-risk web traffic, the browser routes sessions through isolated environments. This means that even if a user inadvertently accesses a malicious site, potential threats are neutralized before they can impact the organization’s network.
