AI Access Security Recommendations

November 20, 2024
Supported for:
  • NGFW (Managed by Panorama or Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama or Strata Cloud Manager)
Your network security admins gain valuable data into GenAI app usage on your organization's network using the AI Access Security Insights dashboard. To enable your network security admins to quickly address gaps and strengthen your security posture when adopting GenAI apps, Palo Alto Networks introduces AI Access Security Recommendations. These recommendations are clear and guided calls to action based on your specific organization's GenAI app data analyzed by Palo Alto Networks.
AI Access Security provides recommendations for the following scenarios.
  • GenAI App Classification Recommendations—Focused on providing recommendations based on the GenAI app usage on your network and their app classification (Sanctioned, Tolerated, or Unsanctioned).
    For example, if AI Access Security notices that your organization allows traffic to Unsanctioned GenAI apps. In this case, AI Access Security provides a recommendation to reclassify these GenAI apps as Sanctioned or Tolerated.
  • Best Practices Checks and Policy RecommendationsAI Access Security uses the Best Practice Assessment (BPA) service to analyze your existing NGFW and Prisma Access policy rulebase to offer recommendations to strengthen your security posture to safely adopt GenAI apps.
    For example, if the BPA service discovers that you have a Security policy rule allowing access to Unsanctioned GenAI apps
  • Data Loss Prevention Recommendations—To prevent exfiltration of sensitive data to Sanctioned and Tolerated GenAI apps, AI Access Security analyzes your Security policy rules to determine if you're forwarding traffic to Enterprise DLP for inline inspection and for data at rest. This can also include config recommendations required to forward traffic to Enterprise DLP.
  • Onboarding and Maximizing AI Access Security—These focus on providing actionable recommendations to onboard GenAI apps available through various SaaS marketplaces.
