The EDL Hosting Service for Application Endpoint Management
SaaS providers publish lists of the IP addresses and URL endpoints their SaaS
applications use, and frequently update these lists. Palo Alto Networks hosts
these lists for you, and you can reference them in policy.
For Microsoft 365, you can subscribe to
endpoint lists directly from Prisma Access Cloud Management
(including optional and required lists). Sometimes, the EDL Hosting Service releases support for SaaS
providers and endpoint list feeds that is not yet available directly in Prisma
Access Cloud Management. To enforce policy for application endpoints from these
SaaS providers—including Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform
(GCP), Salesforce (SFDC) public endpoints, Microsoft Defender, Zoom, and
GitHub—you can create an external dynamic list based on the feed URL.

Microsoft publishes lists of the IP addresses
and URL endpoints their SaaS applications use, and frequently updates
these lists.
Palo Alto Networks hosts these lists for you,
and from within Prisma Access, you can subscribe to the lists that
are relevant to you (including optional and required lists). You
can use the lists you’re subscribe to in policy. As Microsoft refreshes
their endpoint lists, your policy dynamically enforces the latest
version of the list; there’s no need for you to monitor list changes
or make manual policy updates to catch the latest updates.
- Subscribe to an endpoint list
- Edit Microsoft 365 settings and go toEndpoint Lists.
- SelectCustomize Subscriptionand choose the endpoint lists you want to subscribe to, based on the services you’re using and the list type (IPv4, IPv6, or URL).
