Remote Browser Isolation in China

Remote Browser Isolation is available in China to help protect your manged device users from browser and web-based attacks through isolation.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) extends its service and associated infrastructure within China's geographic boundary. Enterprises in China can benefit from the fully integrated solution of RBI and Prisma Access to isolate all malware, including zero-day attacks that result from browsing and web activity, away from your users' managed devices and your network.
RBI China is supported on Prisma Access in China (Prisma Access China limitations and conditions apply). RBI-enabled tenants (instances) in China are separate from the rest of the world's tenants, and only support the traffic from the supported Prisma Access connection methods (Mobile User, Explicit Proxy, and Remote Networks).
The capabilities available in RBI China are the same as the RBI capabilities for the rest of the world. However, note the following differences:
  • You can onboard RBI China only on Strata Cloud Manager Managed Prisma Access China tenants. The tenants can be new or existing tenants.
  • You cannot use RBI China locations with Prisma Access tenants hosted in the rest of the world. To use RBI China locations, you will have to manage a separate tenant. See Prisma Access in China for the list of differences between Prisma Access and Prisma Access China.
  • RBI China allows domestic local traffic to egress locally and allows international traffic to go through cross-border lease lines to bypass China's internet censorship system, through the Service Connection.
  • Communications between RBI components deployed within China to components outside of China (such as license activation, Strata Cloud Manager, and so forth) will go through a secure bridge with a separate root of trust.
  • Autonomous DEM, Visibility and Insights, and AIOps integrations are not supported.
  • Remote Networks fall back on high availability is not supported.
The following licensing and activation considerations apply:
  • You can activate Prisma Access China SKUs with the RBI SKU, when you select the RBI SKU.
  • RBI China uses the same RBI SKUs and pricings as the rest of the world.
  • Activate RBI China only on Prisma Access China tenants.
All Prisma Access China compute and edge locations support the localization of RBI sessions.
For RBI users, the following Prisma Access conditions apply:
  • When a managed device user visits China, they won't be able to use RBI in China unless they connect to a Prisma Access China tenant. If China's internet censorship system allows, they can still access their respective RBI instances, although the latency could be high.
  • Similarly, if an RBI China user travels outside of China, they won't be able to use RBI for the rest of the world unless they connect to a Prisma Access tenant hosted outside of China.
To get started, ensure that you configure a Prisma Access China deployment. Then, follow the instructions to configure RBI. The procedures you use to onboard RBI in China are the same as the procedures that you use to onboard RBI in other locations around the globe.
