The following table provides a snapshot of new features introduced for SaaS Security in November 2023. Refer to the Administrator’s Guide for more information on how to use Data Security, SaaS Security Inline, and SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM).
Feature
Description
Scan support for Workday App (Beta)
You can connect a Workday instance to Data Security to gain visibility into Workday User Activities. A user activity policy can be defined to create incidents for suspicious activities.
Interconnected SaaS: Third-party plugin detection in SSPM
Third-party plugins enable users to extend the capabilities of a SaaS app, but can be a security risk to your organization. When a user adds a plugin, the user might inadvertently grant the plugin access to sensitive data. A plugin with privileged access might be exploited to exfiltrate data or otherwise harm your organization.
To help you address the threats posed by third-party plugins, SSPM gives you visibility into the third-party plugins that are being used in your organization. You can then take action by approving the plugin or by revoking user access to it.
SSPM provides third-party plugin scans for the following SaaS apps:
  • Google Workspace
  • Office 365
  • Slack
  • Jira (To enable third-party plugin scans for Jira, you must also onboard the Atlassian app.)
  • Confluence (To enable third-party plugin scans for Confluence, you must also onboard the Atlassian app.)
Tenant-level visibility and control for Azure OpenAI
For certain discovered applications, SaaS Security Inline can detect the specific application tenants that are being accessed by users. SaaS Security Inline leverages this capability to provide you with visibility and control at the tenant level for the supported applications. This capability is now extended to support Azure OpenAI applications. For Azure OpenAI applications, you can now submit policy rule recommendations at the tenant level. The policies, if committed on the firewall, will affect only the application tenants identified in the policy recommendation.
Onboarding Validations
Users can now check onboarding status that validates if the connector has onboarded successfully and fetched sample assets and user activities. Failures are reported with appropriate errors so that quick actions can be taken reducing troubleshooting time significantly. These validations are launched for the Slack Enterprise V2 connector.
