Private Resource Discovery
Automatically discover resources accessed via Service Tunnels
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.
