Securing the modern digital enterprise landscape has become increasingly complex due to the rise of cloud technologies and the browser's evolving role as the central gateway to SaaS applications. Traditional perimeter-based security models, designed for centralized infrastructures, struggle to meet the challenges posed by remote work, decentralized access and unmanaged devices. HCLTech’s Lightweight Secure Service Edge (LWSSE) solution, powered by Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma Browser (PB), introduces a new security paradigm tailored for browser-first digital environments. By delivering scalable, context-aware protection directly at the browser level, LWSSE ensures seamless access, operational agility and improved user experience without the overhead of complex infrastructures.

The LWSSE framework is lightweight and agentless, prioritizing rapid deployment and simplicity while adopting Zero Trust principles to secure managed and unmanaged devices. It integrates features such as centralized visibility, compliance enforcement and AI-powered threat protection, enabling organizations to detect sensitive data leaks, enforce security policies and neutralize threats in real-time. By leveraging a cloud native approach, using browser-centric workflows and eliminating traditional infrastructure dependencies, LWSSE empowers enterprises to adopt digital transformation while maintaining security, scalability and significant cost efficiencies.
