Modern users access everything through the browser, from internal applications to internet and SaaS platforms. However, most traditional security tools lack visibility or policy enforcement at the browser level, especially on unmanaged devices. This leaves a critical layer exposed to phishing, malware, and data exfiltration.
The Prisma Access Browser is purpose-built to address this gap. It provides a secure enterprise browser experience with native protection for both managed and unmanaged environments. But how do you configure and operationalize it effectively?
To enable that, Palo Alto Networks has introduced the Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Browser course which teaches you how to deploy, configure, and manage this solution using Strata Cloud Manager.
In this article, we will explore the course objectives, key modules, prerequisites, and enrollment process. If you manage network, cloud, or endpoint security, this guide will help you understand how the course fits into your learning path.
Why Take The Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Browser Course?
In recent years, browser‑based attacks have surged, becoming the most common vectors for breaches. According to a Palo Alto Networks survey report, 95% of organizations have experienced an attack originating in the browser. This stark figure underscores the urgent need to secure the browser last mile, where users directly access corporate resources and cloud apps.
The Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Browser course equips you with hands‑on expertise to mitigate these risks. Here’s how it supports your professional growth:
1. Deploy and manage secure browsing at scale: Learn to configure and operate Prisma Access and Strata Cloud Manager to enforce browser policies across users and environments.
