Elevating Enterprise Cybersecurity with IGEL and Palo Alto Networks

How we work has fundamentally changed. With 85% of work happening in the browser and 42% of employees working remotely, the modern workplace is hybrid. While this provides significant flexibility, securing work across all devices is more critical than ever. IT and security teams face the challenge of safeguarding critical applications without hindering productivity or increasing risk and complexity.

The integration of Palo Alto Networks Prisma® Access Browser, the industry’s first SASE-native secure browser, with the IGEL Secure Endpoint OS enables organizations to address the changing security needs of a workforce increasingly relying on browser-based work.

Together, IGEL and Palo Alto Networks provide a unified solution that secures work from the endpoint to the cloud, addressing the modern challenges of a browser-first workspace.
