  • Strata Cloud Manager
  • Prisma SD-WAN license
  • Zscaler Enforcement Nodes (ZEN) Integration CloudBlade
As enterprises rely on SaaS or Cloud-based delivery models for business-critical applications, there’s a compelling need for per-application policy enforcement without increasing remote office infrastructure. Traditional hardware-router based approaches are limited by heavy-handed ‘all or nothing’ policies for direct-to-internet versus policy enforcement per-application. Additionally, because router-based approaches are packet-based versus application-session based, they fail to meet application session-symmetry requirements, causing network and security outages.
The integration of Prisma SD-WAN SD-WAN and Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), allows customers to have a lightweight remote office hardware footprint, while still being able to provide a full suite of application-specific security policies.
To facilitate this integration, Prisma SD-WAN Release 5.1.1 and later provide CloudBlades to automatically integrate the Prisma SD-WAN Controller, Remote Prisma SD-WAN ION devices and Zscaler Enforcement Nodes (ZENs).
