Application SLA Assurance Framework

Prisma SD-WAN’s app-defined fabric is now enhanced with a new policy-driven SLA framework to deliver Application SLA assurance delivering the ability to measure, enforce and alert that ensures an exceptional user experience for all apps. With the ability to identify apps and measure SLAs, Prisma SD-WAN allows enforcement like prioritization, switch flows and link conditioning like adaptive Forward Error Correction (FEC). FEC can dynamically turn on or off for a specific application along with the ability to control the number of recovery packets based on the performance SLAs.

Broadest Support for Network Segmentation

Prisma SD-WAN supports segmentation with network contexts and techniques like Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF). It provides the simplicity of defining unique policy rules per segment for the same application using network contexts while supporting overlapping IP addresses with VRF.

SD-WAN with Integrated IoT Security

Palo Alto Networks introduces the industry’s first SD-WAN with integrated security for IoT devices. The existing Prisma SD-WAN appliances provide visibility and help secure all IoT devices with Prisma Access by acting as sensors and control points, unlike other SD-WAN solutions that require additional sensors to be deployed in the network to gain visibility and prevent threats. This enables accurate detection and identification of all IoT devices and security controls from within the familiar cloud management for Prisma SASE.
