    Cloud Management

    Here’s everything you need to know to use SaaS Security with Prisma Access Cloud Management.

    Get Started

      After activation, SaaS Security Inline automatically discovers all SaaS applications and users and analyzes users’ SaaS activity and usage data from your Prisma Access logs that are stored in Cortex Data Lake.
    • Manage administrator roles and access.
      Go to the hub to provide roles-based access to SaaS Security controls in Prisma Access Cloud Management.
      To comprehensively manage SaaS Security, users must also be an administrator for the SaaS Security Inline app. Jump directly from the Prisma Access Cloud Management dashboard to the

       to add SaaS Security Inline administrators.
    • Explore the
      SaaS Security
       dashboard in Prisma Access Cloud Management.

    • Review and share the SaaS Security report.
      SaaS Security Inline includes a SaaS Security report that provides a snapshot of application usage with advanced aggregated data and views. This report serves as a communication tool between your SaaS security team and executive management. You can share this on-demand PDF report with your SaaS security team for a periodic check-in, or email the report to your executives to highlight the SaaS applications in use in your organization and the security risks they pose.

    SaaS Policy Recommendations

    To gain visibility into and control of SaaS applications, SaaS Security admins create SaaS rule recommendations with specific SaaS App-IDs provided by the App-ID Cloud Engine (ACE).
    In Prisma Access Cloud Management, you can now review and choose to accept the rules that SaaS Security admins recommend. SaaS rule recommendations are added to your web access policy—you must have Web Security enabled to leverage SaaS rule recommendations.
    Here’s how you can get started — review the workflow to review and accept SaaS policy recommendations here:
    1. SaaS Security admins create SaaS rule recommendations in the SaaS Security Inline app or directly in Prisma Access Cloud Management.

      SaaS Security
