Create a Peripheral Group

Create a peripheral group to group multiple peripheral devices of the same type together to apply the same data loss prevention enforcement to multiple peripheral devices at once.
On May 7, 2025, Palo Alto Networks is introducing new Evidence Storage and Syslog Forwarding service IP addresses to improve performance and expand availability for these services globally.
You must allow these new service IP addresses on your network to avoid disruptions for these services. Review the Enterprise DLP Release Notes for more information.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
NGFW (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Endpoint DLP license
  • Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) license
  • Autonomous DEM (6.0.21 or later for End User Coaching)
  • Prisma Access Agent
  • One of the following Prisma Access versions
    • 10.2Prisma Access 5.2
    • 11.2Prisma Access 5.1 or 5.2
A peripheral group is a collection of peripheral devices of the same type that share the same Endpoint DLP enforcement requirements. Instead of creating a separate policy rule for each individual device, you add devices to a group and reference the group in an Endpoint DLP policy rule. A peripheral device can belong to multiple peripheral groups, so you can apply different policy rules to the same device by placing it in multiple groups with different enforcement settings.
After you create and push a peripheral group configuration, you can view your audit and push logs to review your configuration change history and to verify that Prisma Access Agent received the update.

Create an Endpoint DLP USB Peripheral Group

Create a USB peripheral group to apply the same data loss prevention enforcement to multiple USB devices at once.
  1. Log in to Strata Cloud Manager.
  2. Select ConfigurationData Loss PreventionSettingsPeripheral Configuration.
