SaaS Visibility
is the default visibility view on
Data Security
for tenants provisioned before June 2, 2021. This feature is no longer available for tenants provisioned after June 2, 2021, and will be unavailable for all tenants after June 2, 2023. The removal of this view from
Data Security
is part of a larger effort to consolidate CASB features within our products. For inline policy enforcement on your network, more granular control over SaaS application usage and user activity, greater analytics, and a large increase in the number of discovered SaaS applications, use SaaS Security Inline.
Wait for up to 24 hours after you connect
