As SaaS Security Inline continuously adds new SaaS apps to the Application Dictionary, you must determine if you want to modify your existing SaaS policy rule recommendations to reflect such advancements. For example, if you have a recommendation to block risky file sharing apps and a new, risky file sharing app displays in the App Dictionary, consider adding that SaaS app to your existing rule. SaaS Security Inline automatically pushes these updates to your firewall, and your firewall administrator manually imports the changes and updates the rulebase.
If you're modifying a tenant-level policy recommendation, there are potential side effects that you must communicate to your NGFW administrator. When a tenant-level policy recommendation is imported on the firewall, an application group and one or more custom applications are also created. These custom applications identify the application tenants, the user activities to detect, and the response actions to take. Modifying and reimporting this policy recommendation does not automatically delete these application objects, which can have unexpected consequences. If you change the response action for selected tenant activities or deselect a tenant activity, make sure the firewall administrator deletes the custom application for the earlier response action or tenant activity.
