The growth of cloud technology has significantly altered the parameters of digitalization and increasing "cloudification", i.e. moving processes to the cloud, can be observed across all industries.
A recent PAC study of employees at major European companies from various industries shows that this creates the best conditions for innovation.
The cloud-based solution overcomes the shortcomings of legacy approaches to network security. Its modular and integrated architecture supports digital transformation while rigorously enforcing security.
It consolidates best-in-class security with the best user experiences on a single unified platform. It wraps up Deutsche Telekom’s consulting expertise with a leading cloud-native SSE platform, Prisma Access, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) 2.0.
ZTNA is a critical component of any SSE strategy. Palo Alto has brought it up to date with ZTNA 2.0 to reflect contemporary working practices. ZTNA was designed to deliver consistent, high-performance access to specific applications by role or user. ZTNA 2.0 enforces an access control policy that eliminates implicit trust by continuously validating users, devices, and applications at every stage of a digital interaction, on-premises or in the cloud.
Ensure least privilege access with fine-grained access controls. Deliver behavior-based, continuous, trust verification and deep, ongoing security inspection to prevent all threats, including zero-day threats. All apps and data are protected, including private apps and SaaS, with a single DLP policy.
Palo Alto and Deutsche Telekom understand that organizations are at different stages of security maturity and digital transformation. Some only need simple packaged solutions. Others need granular control and want to mix and match several best-of-breed technologies.
The solution includes comprehensive protections converged into a single unified product with single-pane-of-glass visibility and management, consistent policy, and shared data for all users and all apps to dramatically reduce the risk of a data breach. Customers can get the right solution tailored to their requirements, including consulting and support to meet specific business needs.

Who is Palo Alto Networks?
It is an American multinational cybersecurity company. Founded in 2005, it helps 85,000 customers – including 85 of the Fortune 100 - in over 150 countries stay secure. In 2018, Forbes ranked the company eighth in the world’s top 100 digital companies.
What is Prisma Access?
Formerly GlobalProtect cloud service, Prisma Access by Palo Alto enables organizations to deliver consistent security to their remote networks and mobile users. Seen as a generational step forward in cloud security, it uses cloud-delivered architecture to connect all users to all applications.
What is ZTNA?
Zero trust network access (ZTNA) emerged as a necessary response to highly distributed networks and supply chains. It is a security model that assumes every entity trying to connect to a network is potentially hostile.
What is ZTNA 2.0?
Unveiled by Palo Alto, Zero Trust Network access 2.0 (ZTNA 2.0) addresses what it sees as the shortcomings of a ZTNA 1.0 approach. The company describes ZTNA 2.0 as “zero trust with zero exceptions”. It involves continuously reassessing user trust and network traffic.
What is SSE?
Security service edge (SSE) combines network security services delivered from a cloud platform. An SSE deployment typically consists of a secure web gateway (SWG), a cloud access security broker (CASB), and secure remote access via ZTNA.
Because of this blend of services, SSE is often considered part of a secure access service edge (SASE) framework.
What is SASE?
Secure access service edge (SASE), pronounced “sassy,” is a concept Gartner first described in 2019. Primarily delivered as a service, it provides various converged network and security capabilities, including ZTNA.
