Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE 4.0 Powered by AI Protects Against Highly Evasive Threats

Palo Alto Networks, a global cybersecurity leader, announced Prisma SASE 4.0, an advanced AI-driven secure access service edge (SASE) solution—setting a new standard with innovations in Prisma Browser that neutralize sophisticated web threats in real-time directly within the browser.

According to the company, it's designed to intercept and neutralize encrypted, evasive attacks that assemble inside the browser and bypass traditional secure web gateways.

With Prisma SASE 4.0, Prisma Browser's new in-browser advanced web protection identifies and neutralizes malware in real-time before it can do harm. This provides a critical layer of defense that other solutions miss, the company said

In addition, Prisma SASE 4.0 delivers new capabilities designed to secure the modern workforce, including:

• Unprecedented data security powered by AI: Prisma SASE 4.0 offers a unified, frictionless data security approach, essential for protecting against the growing risks posed by AI agents, copilots, and plugins directly accessing corporate data. It includes over 140 pre-trained machine learning classifiers and customizable models to secure critical assets like patents, contracts and source code.
• Smarter, faster protection with Private App Security: Private applications are the engine of many businesses and are prime targets for cyberattacks. Older static rule-based web application firewalls (WAF) are simply no match for threats custom-built for dynamic applications. Palo Alto Networks' new Private App Security automatically adapts to shield these essential applications and constantly updates security policies for applications.

"The conversation with business leaders has evolved. It's no longer just about blocking threats—it's about enabling growth. You can't achieve that with a complex and disjointed security stack. The innovations in Prisma SASE 4.0, particularly our last-mile protections in the browser, are a direct response to the digital landscape, where AI-driven attacks and the widespread adoption of AI tools are making traditional security approaches obsolete. By neutralizing sophisticated threats that evade legacy solutions and directly target the browser, we are setting a new standard for security,” said Anand Oswal, executive vice president of network security, Palo Alto Networks.
