    SaaS Application Visibility on
    Data Security

    Use SaaS application visibility on
    Data Security
     to gain better awareness of the sanctioned and unsanctioned usage and traffic on your network.
    SaaS Visibility
     is the default visibility view on
    Data Security
     for tenants provisioned before June 2, 2021 and on US and EU (not UK) regions only. This feature is no longer available for tenants provisioned after June 2, 2021, and will be unavailable for all tenants after June 2, 2023. The removal of this view from
    Data Security
     is part of a larger effort to consolidate CASB features within our products. For inline policy enforcement on your network, more granular control over SaaS application usage and user activity, greater analytics, and a large increase in the number of discovered SaaS applications, use SaaS Security Inline.
    As your users adopt more SaaS applications, you need better visibility into usage, granular control over access, and compliance and security for your data in the cloud application. To help meet the challenge of understanding what is happening on your network (inline enforcement) and cloud applications (API-based protection),
    Data Security
     can access your next-generation firewall or
    Prisma Access
     logs stored in
    Strata Logging Service
    , and combine that data with
    Data Security
     data to present a consolidated view of sanctioned and unsanctioned application usage across your enterprise.
    Application visibility on
    Data Security
     provides a list of all applications in use on your network, along with a description of each application, its characteristics, data on the number of users, bytes transferred, and number of sessions to learn about the application usage statistics. You can also learn about if an unsanctioned application is being used, if there are alternative sanctioned applications in use, and which groups of people are using the unsanctioned application.
    This visibility will enable you to assess whether you need to secure and sanction other apps or talk with your firewall administrator to block access to these applications and minimize data security risk for the enterprise. You can continue to use the
    Data Security
     dashboard to deliver complete visibility and granular enforcement across all user, folder, and file activity within sanctioned SaaS applications.
