The nature of work has fundamentally changed. Today's hybrid landscape is browser-centric, with [85% of work taking place inside the browser](https://start.paloaltonetworks.com/Omdia-state-of-workforce-security). While this shift offers incredible flexibility, it also creates significant challenges for IT and security teams who must safeguard critical applications without hindering productivity or increasing complexity.

Organizations in every sector, from healthcare to finance, are struggling to protect sensitive data across a fleet of diverse endpoints. Traditional security models are no longer sufficient, which is why a new approach is needed.

# A Powerful Partnership for Endpoint and Browser Security

The integration of Palo Alto Networks [Prisma® Access Browser](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/sase/prisma-access-browser) and IGEL OS is a significant leap forward. This partnership combines the industry's first SASE-native [secure browser](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-an-enterprise-browser) with the IGEL secure endpoint operating system and the transformative IGEL Preventative Security Model™. Together, we provide a unified solution that secures work from the endpoint to the cloud, addressing the modern challenges of a browser-first workspace.

The ideal solution must secure both the endpoint and the work it powers. However, traditional browsers were designed for independent, consumer use---not the demands of modern businesses. They've become a major threat vector, exposing sensitive data to advanced phishing attacks, malware and data exfiltration. At the same time, traditional "fat client" endpoints, which store data locally, make organizations even more susceptible to breaches. The nearly impossible task of patching and managing thousands of individual devices against constantly evolving threats creates a perfect storm for security vulnerabilities.

# How Our Integration Addresses These Challenges

This joint solution is already helping customers solve critical challenges by providing a more comprehensive approach to security.

* **Securing the Hybrid Workforce** : Enterprises can now confidently provide [secure access to all applications](https://paloaltonetworks.com/sase/prisma-access-browser-genai-usage)---private, SaaS, web or GenAI---for their remote and hybrid employees. Prisma Access Browser secures the work with Zero Trust principles, while IGEL OS secures the endpoint, together creating a trusted environment for productivity no matter where the user is located.
* **Protecting Sensitive Data in Regulated Industries** : For organizations in healthcare and finance, protecting [protected health information (PHI)](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/protected-health-information-phi) and [personally identifiable information (PII)](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/pii) is non-negotiable. Our integrated solution enforces granular data controls at the point of access and helps maintain compliance with strict regulations, preventing both accidental and intentional data loss directly from the browser.
* **Enabling Secure Access to Private and Non-Web Apps** : Prisma Access Browser's built-in SSH and RDP capabilities enable privileged users on IGEL OS endpoints to securely access private and nonweb applications (like internal servers or legacy apps) through a single, isolated browser environment. This significantly reduces the need for complex and resource-intensive [VDI](https://paloaltonetworks.com/sase/prisma-access-browser-vdi-reduction) or [VPNs](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-a-vpn).
* **Mitigating Third-Party and Unmanaged Device Risk** : For contractors or [BYOD users](https://paloaltonetworks.com/sase/prisma-access-browser-byod), the solution creates a secure, isolated workspace. Users can access business-critical apps and data securely without ever compromising the corporate network or data, all while using their personal devices. This approach drastically reduces the risk associated with unmanaged devices.

# A Unified, Secure and Cost-Effective Solution

This powerful partnership, available through the IGEL App Portal, provides the following key benefits:

* **Robust Security:** Prisma Access Browser delivers comprehensive, AI-powered threat defense directly within the browser, blocking sophisticated attacks that bypass traditional security tools. IGEL OS provides a secure, immutable foundation by minimizing the endpoint attack surface and resisting local malware.
* **Simplified Management:** IGEL and Prisma Access Browser's cloud management platforms enable admins to quickly onboard and offboard users on all IGEL OS-powered endpoints in minutes. This simplifies deployment and ensures consistent policy enforcement across the entire fleet.
* **Improved User Experience and Lower TCO:** Users get a fast, familiar browsing experience with zero learning curve, which drives rapid adoption. This approach can also deliver a lower total cost of ownership by as much as 79% when compared to traditional VDI solutions.
