Browse Bravely: Prisma Access Browser Deep Dive and Demo

Tech Deep Dive

South Side Ballroom

In the new world of cloud and AI, the web browser is now where 85% of work happens, including accessing your most critical SaaS applications. However, the consumer browsers used today are inherently insecure because they were built to provide access, not to protect against incoming risks from the sites and apps being accessed. As a result, 95% of companies have experienced a security incident originating from a browser — further proof that “consumer-grade” tools simply do not protect against today’s most sophisticated attacks.

Attend this in-depth session to see how Prisma Access Browser can enable you and your organization to Browse Bravely by extending SASE to every user and device, with AI-aware protection powered by Precision AI®, blocking approximately 30 billion attacks and identifying approximately 9 million new threats daily.
