Monitor the applications in your Prisma Access and NGFW setups, users using
the application, risk scores, user experience for each application, and understand
the security impact posed by the risky applications. Application Usage findings can
help you to refine your security policy to control unsanctioned and risky
applications. Click Activity Insights > Applications to view
the following information:
- Applications by Risk Score - the total number of applications running in your organization and the number of applications that are doing Good, Fair, and Poor. The applications are categorized as Good, Fair, and Poor based on their application experience scores.
- Application Data Transfer - Total data download and uploaded across NGFW and Prisma Access firewalls during the time range selected. You can filter to view data transfer originating from the application category and flowing through the destination from the device (data center or firewall).
- All Applications - Use this widget to see which Prisma Access applications are monitored with synthetic tests running on them and applications running on your NGFW environments. The table also displays their experience scores, which give you the health of each application.
- If you have a Prisma Access Browser subscription, you'll see a column for PA Browser Events. Select the number of events, and it will redirect you to the Prisma Access Browser management pages.
- You can also change the tag applied to Gen AI apps based on the application risk score to reflect whether the application is approved within your organization. In the Actions column, select the tag icon and choose the Sanctioned, Tolerated, or Unsanctioned tag and click Apply.

- The Activity tab shows the total number of threats seen in the application, total users accessing the application, data transferred through the application, PA Browser Data Events, and PA Browser Access Events.The following image shows Application Details about PA Browser Data Events and PA Browser Access Events. The default view shows an Aggregate of all events and blocked events, or you can choose to view a Breakdown by Event Type and Count.

- The Experience tab shows the application experience score, score trend during the selected time range, and network performance metrics.
If an app is a container app, then the displayed
statistics are a roll-up of all the applications in the container. For example,
gmail is a container app (there is no App-ID for gmail). It groups applications such
as gmail-posting, gmail-downloading, gmail-uploading, and so forth. The risk score
set for this container app is the highest risk score found for the contained
applications. All other metrics are calculated by summing the values found for the
contained applications.
Reports- You cannot generate a report that
covers the data in this view. However, you can use the Application
Usage report to view application usage data in your network. To
schedule a report, from the menu, click the
![]()
icon and select Application Usage from the
Type drop-down.
