Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Strata Cloud Manager
  • SaaS Agent Security license

  • CASB-X
  • CASB-PA
  • SaaS Security Posture Management license
Activating the SaaS Agent Security license enables your organization to address the unique security problems created by AI agents on SaaS platforms. The service helps close visibility gaps and combat "Shadow AI," which often leave security teams unable to properly track and govern AI agent usage. SaaS Agent Security also enables your data security administrators address the risks of misconfigured agents with overly permissive access and protects against runtime threats like prompt injection. By providing a comprehensive view of all AI agents and their security postures, SaaS Agent Security ensures end-to-end auditability and simplifies the generation of high-level reports for governance.
Additionally, SaaS Agent Security provides enhanced security and compliance by preventing unauthorized access and misuse of privileges. SaaS Agent Security ensures that an organization's AI agent usage adheres to best security practices through continuous monitoring and risk assessment, which contributes to automated compliance. Activating the SaaS Agent Security license also improves operational efficiency by providing automated enforcement workflows that can remediate or terminate high-risk agents. This reduces the need for manual intervention and speeds up incident response by allowing security teams to create actionable tickets directly from security findings. Furthermore, SaaS Agent Security enables proactive threat mitigation by identifying and flagging potential vulnerabilities in real-time before they can be exploited.

  4. Get started with SaaS Agent Security.
    1. (Optional) Onboard the SSPM app for your AI Agent Platform.
      Onboarding the SSPM app enables SaaS Agent Security to map user information to identity names obtained from SSPM. If you don't onboard the corresponding SSPM app, SaaS Agent Security security displays a string of random numeric characters instead of specific user names or user email addresses. You aren't required to onboard an SSPM app before onboarding an AI agent Platform.
      For example, you onboard the ServiceNow app to SSPM to display user information if you will onboard the ServiceNow AI platform.
