SaaS Visibility and Controls for Panorama Managed Prisma Access

Use this workflow to onboard both SaaS visibility and policy enforcement on SaaS Security Inline on Panorama Managed Prisma Access.

SaaS Security Inline protects against cloud‑based threats by blocking traffic for unsanctioned SaaS apps and risky user activity using Security policy. Use the following workflow if you want to use all the features of SaaS Security Inline, including App-ID Cloud Engine (ACE), SaaS policy rule recommendations, and SaaS visibility. If you only want SaaS visibility, use the SaaS Visibility for Prisma Access workflow instead.
