Explicit Proxy on Prisma Access
In addition to
securing mobile users
with GlobalProtect, you can configure an Explicit Proxy using
Prisma Access. Explicit Proxy uses a PAC file that instructs a web
browser to forward traffic to the web proxy server instead of the
destination server, and protects your web-based internet (HTTP and
HTTPS) traffic.
Prisma Access provides a complete cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
capability, including an Explicit Proxy connection method based
in the cloud. If you have existing PAC files, you can use them with
Prisma to leverage your existing PAC files, simplifying the onboarding
experience for customers migrating from legacy proxy-based SWG solutions.
You can also use an Explicit Proxy if you need to use a proxy for
auditing or compliance purposes.
Over time, you can transition to a more secure connection method
in Prisma Access that secures all ports and protocols, not just
web-based internet traffic.
