Dynamic path selection is the foundation of SD-WAN, leveraging real-time performance data to dynamically route traffic over the best available path.
Dynamic path selection continuously monitors performance metrics (loss, latency, jitter) and makes real-time routing decisions to ensure application SLAs are met across the WAN.
Establishing dynamic path selection first ensures the rest of the SD-WAN optimizations (e.g., failover, QoS) work effectively.

The administrator is responsible for updating the VPN client, such as GlobalProtect, to ensure remote users can securely connect to Prisma Access.

Palo Alto Networks' Content Delivery Security Services (CDSS) are kept up to date with the latest threat intelligence by automatically receiving dynamic updates from Palo Alto Networks' content delivery infrastructure. This automated update mechanism ensures that security features like application and threat signatures remain current without requiring manual intervention, thus maintaining effective threat prevention and detection.

Credential phishing prevention is implemented in the URL Filtering profile, which blocks access to malicious websites designed to steal user credentials.
