U.S. federal agencies can now secure work for any user, help prevent data exfiltration, and gain visibility into user activity on any endpoint when using Prisma® Access Browser. Prisma Access Browser has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate authorization.
Prisma Access Browser secures the browser-based workspace on any endpoint with built-in enterprise data loss protection, AI-powered antiphishing, and advanced antimalware, strengthening the security posture throughout the organization. It delivers secure access for contractors and third parties on government-furnished equipment, providing visibility into user activity on the browser at the endpoint. All this is achieved while delivering a familiar browser experience that requires zero learning curve and sets up in minutes for each user.
Prisma Access Browser Boosts Security Posture Throughout the Organization
The browser is where work happens, with 85% of a worker’s day spent in the browser. It is also vulnerable, with 95% of organizations reporting a security incident originating in the browser.
This reliance on the browser combined with the rise of SaaS apps and the increasing sophistication of cyberthreats means government organizations face greater risk of data exfiltration, inadequate security at the endpoint against advanced cyberthreats, growing security blind spots and heightened security policy compliance violation risk.
Prisma Access Browser helps CISOs secure work on the browser at any endpoint, leveraging built-in Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) capabilities, AI-powered antiphishing and antimalware, and full visibility into browser activity and encrypted traffic.
Strengthen Data Protection at Any Endpoint
Prisma Access Browser significantly enhances data protection on the browser across any device by leveraging its built-in Enterprise DLP capabilities to proactively stop data exfiltration. Agencies and departments can quickly implement protection with over 1,000 built-in data classifiers, further reducing false positives through the use of Large Language Models (LLM) to enhance accuracy and detection (Figure 1). Additionally, data tagging capabilities within the secure browser further refine classification and identification, continuously improving accuracy.
For granular control, Prisma Access Browser also enables last-mile data controls, including dynamic data masking, prevention of user actions such as copying, pasting, and screenshotting of sensitive information, and precise control over file movement to prevent unauthorized transfers between business and personal accounts.

Implement Best-in-Class Security at Any Endpoint
Prisma Access Browser helps block the most sophisticated cyber threats that target the browser-based workspace. Prisma Access Browser leverages Advanced URL Filtering, which uses real-time analysis powered by Precision AI® to detect web threats that typically evade signature-based approaches, and Advanced WildFire®, which implements a multi-layer defense engine that includes machine learning-detection and dynamic analysis, to safeguard the workspace on the browser against AI-powered phishing and malware.
Furthermore, Prisma Access Browser performs device posture checks every 90 seconds, enforces continuous trust verification, and isolates the browser from the device, protecting data and critical business applications from compromised or untrusted devices.
Gain Visibility and Secure Encrypted Traffic
Prisma Access Browser helps organizations gain visibility into user activity on the browser for greater insight with access to full activity history and enables administrators to record user sessions for forensics and threat hunting.
Prisma Access Browser also enables the U.S. federal agencies to secure and inspect SaaS, web, GenAI and private application traffic at the endpoint without the additional overhead of network-based decryption, helping ensure that there are no security blind spots while supporting compliance with data residency needs.

- Save up to 79% in total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to VDI
- Save up to 80% in TCO compared to shipping laptops
- Deliver a near-native browser experience that legacy RBIs and VDI cannot match.
Secure the Workspace on the Browser for Federal, State and Local, and Education
Prisma Access Browser supports a variety of use cases across the U.S. Public Sector.
Federal Government
Federal governments need to implement strong security at the endpoint to defend against data exfiltration and cyberthreats, secure work for contractors and third parties on government-furnished equipment (GFE), and enable sufficient browser protections to prevent threat actors from exploiting browser-based security gaps. Traditional solutions to this issue, such as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and legacy remote browser isolation (RBI) are high cost, unscalable and often do not have the best security.
Prisma Access Browser enhances security on any endpoint, ensures secure access from GFEs, enables authentication through PIV and CAC cards, and saves on costs compared to solutions like VDI and RBI. Read the solution brief for more details.
State and Local Government
State and local governments need to secure access for contractors and various agencies, ensure appropriate access is delivered, boost security on these endpoints to protect against advanced cyberthreats and data exfiltration and improve visibility into user activity. Once again, traditional solutions to these issues, such as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and shipping laptops to each employee, are often unscalable, costly and deliver a poor user experience.
Prisma Access Browser is GovRAMP Authorized, enabling state and local governments to use Prisma Access Browser to strengthen security posture throughout their organization with the knowledge that Prisma Access Browser has met the requirements of GovRAMP’s stringent security verification model. Secure access for contractors and agencies who may be on unmanaged devices, improve visibility and protection at the endpoint, and save on costs compared to VDI and shipping laptops. Read the solution brief for more details.
K-12 and Higher Education
K-12 and higher education each face unique challenges. K-12 needs greater visibility and control on student-issued Chromebooks to help prevent device tampering and promote academic integrity. Strong content and URL filtering is also needed to enable student safety and support compliance with the Children’s internet Protection Act (CIPA).
Higher education requires the protection of critical resources such as research data, intellectual property and educational applications that are accessed from managed devices, unmanaged devices and BYOD.
Prisma Access Browser enables institutions to gain great visibility and control on Chromebooks for K-12, filter harmful content in support of CIPA, secure encrypted traffic on personal devices to protect higher education resources while helping maintain aspects of student privacy, and protecting research data from leakage.
