SaaS Security is an integrated CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) solution that scans and analyzes your assets, applies Security policy to identify exposures, external collaborators, risky user behavior, and sensitive documents, and helps stop threats to sensitive information, users, and resources. Use this connector to collect events and fetch issues from the SaaS Security platform and to run remediation actions against assets.

This connector includes the following sub-capabilities (Marketplace integrations link to PAN DEV for more information):

* [SaaS Security Event Collector](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/integrations/saas-security-event-collector): Palo Alto Networks SaaS Security Event Collector integration for XSIAM. This sub-capability is available with any active Cortex XSIAM, Cortex Cloud Runtime Security, or Cortex XDR license.
* [SaasSecurity](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/integrations/saas-security): SaaS Security API is a cloud-based service that you can connect directly to your sanctioned SaaS applications using the cloud app's API to provide data classification, sharing and permission visibility, and threat detection. This Content Pack provides insights into risks posed by data exposure and policy violations and enables you to use Cortex XSIAM to effectively manage the incidents discovered by SaaS Security API. This sub-capability is available with any active Cortex XSIAM, Cortex Cloud Runtime Security, Cortex XDR, or Cortex AgentiX license.

To configure this connector, follow the steps outlined in the configuration wizard.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/configure-cortex-xdr/cortex-xdr-data-sources/palo-alto-networks-integrations/saas-security-aperture.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
