In an ever-evolving online security threat landscape, employees often use personal and unmanaged devices to access critical business applications. While this enhances productivity, it also presents security risks due to inconsistent levels of security, control, and visibility across devices. To address this, organizations require a comprehensive secure access service edge (SASE) solution that allows users to safely access important business applications regardless of their device. Talon’s Enterprise Browser, integrated with Prisma SASE, will offer increased protection against threats such as phishing attacks, web-based attacks, and harmful browser extensions. It will also provide controls to safeguard sensitive data within browsers, irrespective of device management.
Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma SASE serves as a foundation for agile, cloud-powered organizations. The integration of Talon with Prisma SASE will enable customers to enhance productivity by enabling unmanaged devices while simultaneously ensuring consistent security and improved visibility into device usage. This acquisition solidifies Prisma SASE as the most comprehensive single-vendor SASE solution, supporting a unified SASE strategy for complete zero-trust security. The integration of Prisma SASE with the Enterprise Browser will secure all web applications, both public and private, and all devices, regardless of their management status.
