Agent discovery & inventory

Palo Alto Networks AI Access Security

SASE-delivered product that identifies which generative AI applications employees are using by matching network traffic against a maintained dictionary of GenAI apps grouped into predefined use cases, then applying access-control and DLP policy. It discovers app usage, not internally built agents or AI components in code.

Ask for a demonstration

Demonstrate the Insights dashboard showing the top GenAI apps by user and use case in our traffic, and how a new app appears once it is added to the app dictionary.

Capabilities and evidence

Support labels reflect the supplied research. Documentation and vendor claims are not independent product tests. “Not established” means the researcher did not find support; it does not prove a capability is absent.

Documented by provider

Provides visibility into hundreds of GenAI applications grouped into predefined use cases, with an Insights dashboard for discovering activity and risky behaviour by app, user and use case.

Limit: Discovery is bounded by the vendor-maintained GenAI app list and by traffic traversing Palo Alto enforcement points.

Documented by provider

The product targets inadvertent data leakage in prompts and file uploads, combining GenAI app identification with fine-grained access control policy rules and Enterprise DLP detection.
