Citrix SD-WAN

Palo Alto integration using IPsec tunnels

Palo Alto networks deliver cloud-based security infrastructure for protecting remote networks. It provides security by allowing organizations to set up regional, cloud-based firewalls that protect the SD-WAN fabric.

Prisma Access service for remote networks allows you to onboard remote network locations and deliver security for users. It removes the complexity in configuring and managing devices at every remote location. The service provides an efficient way to easily add new remote network locations and minimize the operational challenges with ensuring that users at these locations are always connected and secure, and it allows you to manage policy centrally from Panorama for consistent and streamlined security for your remote network locations.

To connect your remote network locations to the Prisma Access service, you can use the Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall or a third-party, IPSec-compliant device including SD-WAN, which can establish an IPsec tunnel to the service.

The Citrix SD-WAN solution already provided the ability to break out Internet traffic from the branch. This is critical to delivering a more reliable, low-latency user experience, while avoiding the introduction of an expensive security stack at each branch. Citrix SD-WAN and Palo Alto Networks now offer distributed enterprises a more reliable and secure way to connect users in branches to applications in the cloud.

Citrix SD-WAN appliances can connect to the Palo Alto cloud service (Prisma Access Service) network through IPsec tunnels from SD-WAN appliances locations with minimal configuration.
