Secure Sanctioned SaaS Apps on
Data Security

Use
Data Security
to have visibility into and control over how your users are accessing and sharing data across SaaS applications.
Data Security
enables you to consistently define and enforce policy for securing data across all your sanctioned software as a service (SaaS) applications. Although each application has its own settings to secure how users can store and share data, the settings and levels of enforcement vary by application. By adding your applications to
Data Security
, you have visibility into and control over how your users are accessing and sharing data across your sanctioned applications.
When
Data Security
first connects to an application, it scans all the assets in the application and matches against the policy rules to retroactively uncover incidents and then displays all active incidents on the Dashboard. To maximize the results from this initial discovery process, configure the global scan settings for policy, examine your corporate acceptable use policy for SaaS applications, and review the default policy rules in
Data Security
before you start the scan.
Additionally, you can use
Data Security
to connect to your
Cortex Data Lake
to access your next-generation firewall or GlobalProtect Cloud Service logs to present a holistic view of sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS application usage. This visibility on
Data Security
provides you with granular control over access, sanctioned application usage, and external exposure of data.
While
Data Security
performs deep content inspection, it does not store any data from your monitored applications. It stores only metadata about your assets, which is data about your data.
