Case Creation Enhancements in Strata Copilot
February 21, 2025
Supported on Strata Cloud Manager
|
The case creation workflow in Strata Copilot is now restructured for improved
efficiency, now following a more logical progression.

When opening a case, Strata Copilot first
collects core information such as product, hostname, issue description, and
severity. Depending on the nature of the issue, Strata Copilot can prompt for
additional details. Once Strata Copilot gathers the necessary information, it
runs an automated analysis using category-specific playbooks, including a
dedicated one for commit issues. Based on this analysis, Strata Copilot suggests
remediation actions if a relevant playbook is identified. As you progress, you
will see real-time updates during playbook execution. If these suggestions don't
resolve your issue, you can then proceed to open your support case.
The system preserves your case creation state for one hour, allowing you to
resume without losing progress if you encounter interruptions. This streamlined
process ensures all required information is collected upfront, enabling more
accurate analysis and potentially faster resolution of your issue.

the typical SaaS Security Inline policy rule recommendation workflow. As a SaaS Security administrator, creating an Internet Access rule allows you
to gain full control over policy rule enforcement and rule ordering. The unified
policy framework simplifies your policy rule creation experience, allowing you to
enforce consistent SaaS app security regardless of the enforcement point, eliminate
policy implementation delay, and reduce the risk of misconfigurations. This
streamlined workflow enables you to fully utilize the SaaS Security Inline
capabilities, achieving a stronger security posture for your SaaS environment.
Simplified Security Policy Recommendations for SaaS Security Inline allows you
to more effectively secure your SaaS apps, reduce administrative overhead, and gain
clearer visibility into your SaaS Security posture. The Simplified
Security Policy Recommendations for SaaS Security Inline is valuable if you
manage complex SaaS environments, require granular control over Security policy

infrastructure.
