Managed service providers (MSPs) have struggled to deliver SASE services cost-effectively at scale because current SD-WAN and secure access solutions for the hybrid work force lack automation, requiring manual configuration and support for disparate products and API models.
Solving this challenge, Palo Alto Networks has introduced new innovations for Prisma SASE specifically designed for MSPs, including a hierarchical multitenant cloud management portal and open API framework.
Prisma SASE’s new highly flexible, cloud-based management portal with hierarchical multitenancy capability uses granular role-based access control (RBAC) – that MSPs have lacked until now – to provide the flexibility to manage multiple customers with different needs while providing control across a customer’s entire SASE services lifecycle.
“MSPs need to deliver consistent, best-in-class secure access solutions for hybrid workforce and SD-WAN services to customers at the lowest possible TCO. Until now, that has been extraordinarily difficult,” said Anand Oswal, Senior Vice President, Network Security at Palo Alto Networks. “With Prisma SASE for MSPs, we are able to further deliver on the promise of a secure enterprise with ultimate ease of use, for both our managed service provider partners and their customers, and most importantly help address their unique network security and SD-WAN requirements.”
