The Browser Is the Perimeter Now

The Prisma Access Browser changes the way businesses think about secure access. Instead of tunneling traffic and relying on invasive SSL decryption to control what users can do, the browser becomes the security control point. That means no more SSL inspection pain, no more chasing down break-fix issues with certificate errors, and no more blind spots when dealing with unmanaged devices or third parties.

What It Does

Prisma Access Browser is a cloud-delivered enterprise browser. It allows users to access internal and external resources securely through a hardened, isolated browser environment. There's no install required on the endpoint, no VPN, and no network-level access. Sessions are controlled, monitored, and can be fully recorded or limited based on policy.

This isn't a browser plug-in or SASE sidecar. It's the browser itself, designed from the ground up for enterprise access and security control. That said, a plugin is also available for traditional browsers to extend similar controls, perfect for cases where users are already working in Chrome or Edge, but you still need visibility and enforcement without giving up security.

Use Cases That Actually Matter

• Contractors and Vendors: Give third parties access to the apps they need without handing over VPN credentials, worrying about endpoint hygiene, or opening up your network. Limit clipboard, downloads, printing, and visibility by role.

• Remote FTEs on Unmanaged Devices: Secure access from BYOD and home machines with the same policies you enforce on managed endpoints, without the overhead of onboarding a device.

• High-Sensitivity Apps: Enforce zero-trust access to financial systems, ticketing platforms, development tools, or any web-based app without punching holes in the firewall.

• Temporary Staff and Interns: Deliver access for a fixed time window with strict controls on what they can interact with or copy out.

  
  

What You Can Control

Prisma Access Browser gives you fine-grained control over exactly how users interact with applications:

• Block access to personal webmail

• Prevent document uploads to unsanctioned destinations

• Disable copy and paste for sensitive data fields or entire applications

• Conditionally allow or block printing, including watermarking or printer restrictions

• Enforce view-only sessions for read-only access to high-risk apps

• Set time-based session policies for expiration, idle timeout, or lock-on-network-change

• Audit and record everything for compliance, investigation, or training

• Blocking data capture from keyloggers

• ...and a ton of other capabilities

  
  

Control Without Decryption

One of the biggest pain points in network security has always been SSL decryption. It breaks apps, slows performance, and creates user friction. Prisma Access Browser sidesteps that entirely. Because traffic is never decrypted in-flight, it’s rendered securely in the cloud and streamed to the user as visual data. Policy enforcement is native, and the risk of credential reuse or lateral movement is eliminated.

It integrates with your existing identity provider, so your MFA, SSO, conditional access, and DLP strategies extend right into the session, no extra infrastructure, no endpoint agents.
