About this event

Most of us have accepted a trade-off: either we fully manage the device, or we accept risk. Prisma Browser breaks that trade-off.

Join us for an in-person Palo Alto user group hosted right here in the Ottawa Valley focused on securing today’s distributed workforce across Defence, energy, healthcare, and education.

As hybrid work expands, enabling secure access from both managed and unmanaged devices has become a critical challenge. This session explores how the Prisma Access Browser from Palo Alto Networks extends Zero Trust into the browser, enabling secure access to applications and Protected B data while enforcing consistent controls across any device.
