Configuring Prisma Access

SASE, or Secure Access Service Edge, is a term that was coined by Gartner to describe a cloud-centric approach to network architecture, where secure services and connectivity are delivered directly to the source of a connection rather than a data centre. With Prisma Access, connectivity and security can be taken out of the data centre where, historically, a bulky firewall would provide a focal point of partner VPN tunnels and remote users dialling in to reach resources in the DMZ, while doubling up as the perimeter firewall protecting the office users and server farm. As shown in the following diagram, all connectivity is shifted toward the cloud. The data centre is still represented but could also be a cloud-based service, such as an Azure-based Active Directory and Office 365 environment, while remote users and remote offices connect to a cloud instance that's geographically closest to them rather than the central site.
