Application Category Rules, which offer the ability to establish policies based on Application Categories. With this development, it is no longer necessary to choose specific applications when you want to set a policy for a whole category of applications. As a result, access policies will now automatically apply to any new controllable application that is added to our continually increasing set of supported cloud applications.
How to create rules based on Application Categories?
To create rules based on application categories, choose from a variety of Application Categories, such as Cloud Storage, Office Productivity, or Generative AI. By doing so, the established rule will apply to all current and forthcoming applications added to those specified categories.
Wasn't it already possible to select an Application Category in the dashboard?
Previously, when an Application Category was selected, it would generate a rule encompassing only the applications that were part of that category at the time. And to apply policy to new applications added to the category, you had to manually select each new application as it became available.
What is the expected behavior for both new and pre-existing Application Category selections?
When making a new selection of Application Categories, the rules will automatically encompass all new applications as they are added, adhering to the new behavior.
However, for pre-existing Application Category selections, you need to reselect the Application Categories to activate this new functionality.
