NG-CASB Standalone Web Interface Deprecation in November 2024

The standalone console for SaaS Security (accessible at https://<tenant-name>.aperture.paloaltonetworks.com/) is being retired as of 30 November 2024. SaaS Security is now available in the new, unified Strata Cloud Manager platform.
Since April 2023, Strata Cloud Manager has been enhancing how you manage data security, offering a centralized solution that simplifies your workflows. While you may be accustomed to the functionality of the previous portal, transitioning to Strata Cloud Manager brings several significant benefits. Refer to the customer resources blog for detailed explanations and FAQs related to this transition.

Integrate CIE with Data Security

Identity providers (IdPs) such as Okta and Active Directory are central to understanding user identities within an organization, including their organizational roles and structures. This information is critical for administrators like you to protect your organization's data.
As an administrator, you can integrate Cloud Identity Engine with Data Security to identify and verify all users across your infrastructure irrespective of whether your users are using on-premises, cloud hybrid, or multicloud Identity providers (IdP). Save time in the deployment and management of identity-based controls on your network security infrastructure using point-and-click configuration with real-time validation. Accurately enforce security decisions for all your users at all times, with assured synchronization of all identity-related data in the cloud. Easily apply these controls everywhere in your enterprise: Data center, campus, public cloud, branches, and remote users.
