SD-WAN integrated with next-generation security

SD-WAN for NGFW consolidates networking and security into a single platform, eliminating the need for separate SD-WAN appliances at branch locations while maintaining consistent security policy enforcement.

Security

Deliver consistent security across all branch locations with integrated threat prevention, removing the need for standalone SD-WAN devices.

Performance

Intelligently steer traffic across data centers, branches, and cloud environments with optimized WAN middle-mile performance.

Simplicity

Simplify branch onboarding with centralized policy management and Prisma Access hubs as the global backbone.

Consistent security at every branch

SD-WAN for NGFW eliminates the trade-off between connectivity and security by embedding SD-WAN directly into the firewall.

  • Unified policy enforcement: Apply the same security policies across headquarters, branch offices, and remote sites from a single management plane.
  • Integrated threat prevention: All branch traffic is inspected by the NGFW, ensuring consistent protection without backhauling to a central data center.
  • Reduced attack surface: Eliminate standalone SD-WAN appliances that introduce additional management overhead and potential security gaps.
