Overview

The Private Resource Discovery feature provides admins with a summary view of the private resources accessed by end-users over their Service Tunnels.

SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) collects and compiles common private resources accessed via Service Tunnels, and displays these resources in a list. This provides admins with convenient visibility into what applications and services their end-users are accessing over a VPN (i.e., Service Tunnel). It allows admins to identify high-risk resources and over-provisioned users. The list can then be used to publish these private resources as Published Services - making them available via a service catalog and allowing admins to apply fine-grained zero-trust policies to each service.

How It Works

Private Resources List

The Private Resources list can be found under Private Access > Discovery. The Private Resources list contains unique records showing access attempts to an enabled Service Tunnel. Each unique record consists of a domain name or an IP address, as well as a port number.

Details View

Users, devices, resources accessed, ports and protocols used, and access time are all displayed in the details page.
