Consumer browsers often lack robust security and isolation capabilities\, leading organizations to adopt a last-mile approach to endpoint security. This involves either holistically managing (ship and support) corporate devices or isolating data entirely through virtual desktops. To address this\, Palo Alto Networks has introduced Prisma Access Browser\, an emerging technology designed to enhance web security and streamline user experience. \nIn this tech talk\, we will dive into the key features and benefits of Prisma Access Browser. We will discuss how it leverages the power of the cloud to provide secure\, scalable\, and high-performance browsing experiences\, irrespective of user location. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Wayne LeRiche\n Federal Civilian Field CTO & Solutions Architect\, Palo Alto Networks \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n }\n \n 9:00 AM\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Emerging Technology Talk\nFriend or Fraud?
