Cloud-Delivered Security ServicesSaaS Security
CASB that discovers and controls SaaS and GenAI apps and protects their data.
Palo Alto Networks SaaS Security is a cloud access security broker that proactively discovers and controls SaaS and generative AI applications, protects data across them, and prevents SaaS-based data-loss and threat vectors. It sees SaaS usage from any user on any device — not just traffic routed through your infrastructure — closing the shadow-IT and shadow-AI gap. Faltrox operates it as managed SaaS and GenAI security.
Overview
What SaaS Security is
Employees adopt SaaS and generative AI apps faster than security can track, and approaches that only inspect traffic routed through corporate infrastructure miss usage from unmanaged devices and direct connections. Palo Alto Networks SaaS Security is a CASB built for this reality: it proactively discovers and controls SaaS and GenAI apps and protects data across them, wherever and however they are used.
It surfaces shadow IT and shadow AI, applies policy to control which apps and app behaviours are allowed, protects sensitive data in sanctioned apps (integrating with Enterprise DLP), and defends against SaaS-borne threats and misconfigurations. Because it does not rely solely on inline traffic inspection, it captures SaaS usage that infrastructure-routed approaches cannot see. Faltrox discovers your SaaS estate, builds the control and data policy, and operates it as managed SaaS security.

FAQ
Common questions
01What is a CASB and why do we need one?
A Cloud Access Security Broker discovers and controls SaaS usage and protects data across cloud apps. You need one because employees adopt SaaS and GenAI apps faster than security can track, creating shadow IT and shadow AI — unsanctioned apps holding sensitive data outside your visibility and control.
02How does it see usage from unmanaged devices?
Approaches that only inspect traffic routed through corporate infrastructure miss usage from unmanaged devices and direct connections. SaaS Security does not rely solely on inline traffic inspection, so it captures SaaS usage from any user on any device — closing that visibility gap.
03Does it cover generative AI apps?
Yes — it extends discovery and control to generative AI applications, governing their usage and the data risks they introduce, which is increasingly important as employees adopt GenAI tools that can leak sensitive data.
04How does it protect data in SaaS apps?
It protects sensitive data across SaaS applications and integrates with Palo Alto Networks Enterprise DLP, so the same data-classification policy applies consistently whether data is on the network, on endpoints, or in SaaS.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We discover your SaaS and GenAI estate, build the app-control and data-protection policy, and operate it — surfacing and controlling shadow IT and shadow AI and protecting SaaS data as a managed service.
