[Prisma Browser](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/tag/prisma-browser/?ts=markdown)  
[Secure Browser](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/tag/secure-browser/?ts=markdown)

For many enterprises, supporting Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Secure Shell (SSH) is critical for providing secure, flexible access to local devices, critical virtual machines (VMs) and private servers. [Prisma Browser™](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/sase/prisma-browser) now natively supports RDP and SSH connections within the browser, enabling secure access to corporate resources from any device while ensuring a great user experience and consistent, strong protection.

* **Streamline IT admin operations:** IT contractors can manage servers and other internal systems remotely.
* **Deliver access to remote/hybrid workers and contractors:** Secure access to sensitive apps for remote and hybrid workers and contractors.
* **Enhance collaboration:** Teams can remotely access and work on shared systems and VMs, improving collaboration regardless of physical location.

# It's Time to Update Traditional RDP and SSH Delivery

While RDP and SSH are crucial for many enterprises to improve workflows, many traditional methods of delivering RDP and SSH connections are hard to set up, costly and not very secure. For example, separate standalone clients that lie outside of the corporate security infrastructure don't enforce basic security and data protection requirements. VPN clients can cause performance bottlenecks and are difficult to scale and manage, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is expensive, difficult to manage and typically delivers poor user experience.

# Native RDP/SSH Connection with Prisma Browser

Prisma Browser secures work on any device, managed and unmanaged, from anywhere. It leverages AI-powered antiphishing, advanced antimalware and enterprise data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities to protect employees and contractors while they work.

Prisma Browser natively supports RDP and SSH connections, enabling your users to access on-premises devices, cloud services, VMs and other corporate resources directly through the secure browser. By extending corporate security and data policies to your remote access protocols through Prisma Browser, you can ensure strong, consistent protection of your critical corporate resources across your organization on any device, for any user, anywhere.

This capability allows you to use Prisma Browser for all of your organization's RDP and SSH use cases while increasing the productivity and security posture of your IT infrastructure.

# Better Security Against Threats and Data Exposure

Because remote access protocols are supported natively on Prisma Browser, you can now apply the full power of Palo Alto Networks' AI-powered security and data protection capabilities directly onto the session by securing your users RDP and SSH sessions with built-in enterprise DLP, advanced malware prevention and protection from unmanaged devices.

## Built-In Enterprise DLP

Prevent data exposure by extending last-mile controls on user actions within the session. Identify sensitive data with [AI-powered DLP](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/sase/enterprise-data-loss-prevention) and enable control on actions like copy/paste, file uploads/downloads, screenshotting and screen sharing. For any sensitive actions, you can enforce just-in-time access.

## Advanced Malware Prevention

Protect users during their sessions from new and unknown malware variants with the industry's largest malware prevention engine, built into Prisma Browser. [Advanced WildFire](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/network-security/advanced-wildfire), powered by Precision AI^TM^, uses a suite of advanced inline machine learning techniques to block 99% of malware variants that use modern evasion techniques.

## Protection from Unmanaged Devices

Control the endpoint posture to ensure security and compliance. Prevent sensitive data from leaking to unmanaged devices and protect your organization from data theft and other risks originating from compromised unmanaged devices.

# Exceptional User Experience

Deliver an exceptional user experience while users are using RDP and SSH connections within Prisma Browser. Native RDP and SSH connections eliminate the need for any complex/intensive translations that often impact performance and user experience, resulting in faster loading times. Prisma Browser also has multimonitor support. Because the session is occurring within a secure browser, users get a near-native experience and seamless access to the corporate resources that they need.

# Easy Setup with No Add-Ons

Support the same connections to your local devices, VMs and other corporate resources without the need for additional deployments or middleware. Replicate a truly native RDP/SSH experience in Prisma Browser -- akin to using your existing clients to connect. You can forego the need for a dedicated standalone client, VPNs that require extensive installation or costly VDI. RDP and SSH protocols are now supported in one browser, where all corporate security and data policies can be applied. This allows you to use one platform for all connections.

# Simplify and Secure Your Remote Access Protocols with Prisma Browser

Prisma Browser can help you deliver secure access throughout your organization, enable stronger and more consistent security, and deliver a user experience that is faster and near-native.
