Palo Alto Networks® Data Security provides detailed information about the issues it detects as it scans the assets in your managed SaaS applications. You can use these details to guide you when you decide whether the incidents or issues found pose real threats to your sensitive data and intellectual property, and to assess your security controls and practices so that you can decide how to eliminate the issues you determine are risks.
Remediation Approaches
After you perform an initial assessment, you’ll have the perspective you need to determine the best remediation approach for your organization based on your organization’s risk tolerance, volume of incidents identified, and your SOC team’s resources. You can choose automatic remediation, manual remediation, or a hybrid of both approaches. Some organizations prefer full or partial manual remediation for a hands-on approach while others depend heavily on an automated approach with some manual remediation or somewhere in between.
  • automatic remediation—Large number of assets.
  • manual remediation—Small number of assets.
View Remediation Activity Logs
You can proactively monitor incident remediation logs to track activity on Data Security. These logs enable you to:
  • Audit the progress of automatic remediation.
  • Track how incidents were addressed.
The logs include actions taken automatically by Data Security and actions taken by asset owners and administrators.
