    Feature
    Description
    Application Groups
    Teams functionality available in the Standalone SaaS Security console is now available in Strata Cloud Manager as
    Application Groups
    . You can create an application group to group cloud apps and restrict admin access to cloud apps, incidents, and assets on SaaS Security API.
    Delete or close Incidents
    You can now choose to delete or close all associated incidents when you delete a policy rule.
    Support for one Syslog Receiver and one API Client
    Syslog and API Client Integration on SaaS Security API now supports one Syslog receiver and one API client app with access to log data.
    Extended attribute values for Security and Privacy Attributes
    When you are viewing an application's attribute values in the Application Details view in SaaS Security Inline, more precise information is now provided for the following Security and Privacy application attributes.
    • Data Retention
      —Previously, this attribute indicated whether the SaaS application documented its data-retention policies. Now, this attribute indicates how long data is retained by the application after an account is closed.
    • Encryption in Transit
      —Previously, this attribute indicated whether the SaaS application can encrypt network communication by using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. Now, this attribute identifies the highest level of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol that the SaaS application supports.
    • HTTP Security Headers
      —Previously, this attribute indicated whether the SaaS application used HTTP security headers. Now, this attribute identifies the HTTP security headers that are used by the SaaS application.
    Tenant Detail view in SaaS Security Inline
    The Tenant Detail view is part of a beta release of tenant-level detection. It is provided only for evaluation and testing purposes. For the full release, tenant-level controls in policy recommendations are also planned.
    For certain discovered applications, SaaS Security Inline can detect the specific application tenants that are being accessed by users. For these applications, a new Tenant Details view displays details about individual application tenants.
    Currently, tenant-level detection is available for the following applications: Bitbucket, Box, Egnyte, Frontify, Github, SharePoint, Slack, WebEx, Workday, Workplace by Facebook, Zendesk, and Zoom.
    You can navigate to the Tenant Details view from the Discovered Applications view or the Discovered Users view. The Tenants column for these views shows the number of application instances or tenants that were accessed. Click on the number of tenants to go to the Tenant Details view.
    SSPM integration with Jira
    If you are using the Jira issue tracking system to manage your team's tasks, you can now create Jira tickets directly from SSPM. To configure the Jira integration, you link SSPM to your Jira instance. When you are viewing a policy violation in SSPM, you can then create a Jira ticket to investigate and resolve the misconfiguration.
