For Prisma access- no. It can be used standalone. Prisma SD-WAN is a more advanced version of SD-WAN for NGFW. Prisma Cloud basically deploys VMs in different regions and its configuration and architecture is more SDN-like and kind of resembles how AWS works. That’s a very very basic explanation though. From a Prisma standpoint connections to AWS/Azure/GCP are just IPSec tunnels. There’s more detail to it regarding how service connections work, but that’s the gist of it. More on reddit.com
Understanding Prisma Cloud
A lot of why Prisma Cloud is different comes in terms of why cloud security is different. It's less log centric and more "this API is saying Kyle has an API key 270 days old, that's a liability, raise an alert in the CSPM" or "this k8s control plane appears public" or "this security group is mighty lax" - SIEMs are less about leveraging those API and more about taking in file-like streaming data. I haven't had the pleasure of messing with it but there's also supposed to be some stuff regarding securing your DevOps process, largely from the Bridgecrew acquisition. CSPM/CNAPP/CIEM is definitely messy terms-and-definitions wise but I would make the argument it's that industry rather than Palo particularly that's struggling with it. Unit 42 IR has it's own pool of cloud-specific IR consultants, Unit 42 researchers work with Prisma Cloud-specific threat researchers, etc - it's really it's own world. It's a newer one ("cloud" isn't new but modern cloud security is still very much emerging) vs the rest of solutions and thus it's still trying to figure out what makes the most sense in terms of messaging. I will say I got us a CSPM when I was internal security for Crypsis which M&A'd into Palo. CSPM is IMO somewhat mandatory for anyone who has more than a couple IAM users and instances in the cloud.

Do you need palo alto firewalls to use prisma access? Why do i see prisma sd-wan and sdwan for ngfw as different products? How does prisma cloud work? Integration with gcp/aws?

Prisma is Palo Alto handling your Global Protect, Internet edge and possibly site to site VPNs in the cloud. Prisma SDWAN is self hosted SDWAN using ION appliances. Runs in conjunction with Palo NGFW appliances. SDWAN for NGFW is SDWAN that is handled in the firewall appliance.

I only have experience with Palo's NGFWs and XDR. Trying to learn about Prisma Cloud and there is SO MUCH MARKETING FLUFF. On the getting started guide, under CSPM, it is described almost like a SIEM (Identify, detect, response). So basically it ingests configuration data, user activity data, network data, and host data (also like a SIEM), for cloud environments. Couldn't you just ship this data to an existing SIEM? What's the difference? I know I have to be oversimplifying/misunderstanding it!

I automated the workflows to upgrade Prisma Cloud compute edition in my previous org and nobody used it. Slow rolled though the interview process where Palo Alto hires subcontractors and their subcontractors hire subcontractors, and they didn’t hire me thank god, but yeah the tool without multi-tenancy and a single mongodb database perhaps sitting in a kubernetes PVC is trashy. Also, if you use commercial off the shelf software, you will always have a ton of vulnerabilities. Unless you are building your own apps from the ground up in containers, the tooling support provided by Prisma Cloud or Prisma Cloud Compute Edition is fairly worthless.
