As enterprises migrate their applications and operations to the cloud, the need for robust, secure, and efficient networking solutions has never been more critical. As such, the support of Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN with AWS Cloud WAN Service Insertion makes significant advancements in cloud networking capabilities, offering joint AWS and Palo Alto Networks customers a transformative approach to managing their network traffic and security policies across distributed cloud environments.
Cloud WAN Service Insertion is a new feature from AWS that allows customers to seamlessly integrate AWS and third-party networking and security services within their cloud WAN architecture. This capability is designed to simplify how businesses manage virtual private cloud (VPC) security inspection to VPC or VPC to on-premises traffic.
Using a central policy document, enterprises can direct traffic through various network or security appliances (virtual or physical), implement robust security and performance measures through straightforward policy statements or user-friendly web interface interactions, and more.
Prisma SD-WAN is renowned for its ability to provide advanced traffic steering and secure access to applications across any location. In the past, we simplified the onboarding of SD-WAN-connected remote sites with AWS Cloud WAN using Tunnel-less connect integration. Now, with AWS Cloud WAN Service Insertion, we are greatly simplifying the security inspection of traffic between remote SD-WAN sites and AWS.
The support with AWS Cloud WAN Service Insertion enables enterprises to leverage these strengths within the AWS ecosystem, enhancing network operations' scalability and manageability.
Consider a global enterprise with multiple branch offices, many employees, contractors, and partner roles, and a significant presence on AWS. By integrating Prisma SD-WAN with AWS Cloud WAN Service Insertion, this enterprise can manage its global traffic through a centralized platform, directing specific workloads and traffic through additional security services such as Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Virtual Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) based on policy definitions.
This setup not only ensures optimal performance and security but also simplifies the management of network configuration and policies.
