Validate private application connector capacity and connectivity alongside identity decisions and policy enforcement before relaxing restrictions. This response applies to Private app connector resilience and troubleshooting, not the controlling requirement in this case. A successful user login proves authentication, not connector reachability or correct backend application mapping. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Publish approved private applications through Secure Private Access with least-privilege identity and device conditions rather than broad network tunnels. Situation: A private application policy references an outdated FQDN and user connections fail despite successful SSO.

Correlate Investigate domain information with DNS activity, source endpoint, time range, and threat intelligence before escalating. This response applies to Investigate infrastructure attribution and false positives, not the controlling requirement in this case. Domain attribution may involve shared infrastructure and dynamic resolution; a risky domain does not imply every neighbor on the IP is malicious. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Publish approved private applications through Secure Private Access with least-privilege identity and device conditions rather than broad network tunnels. Situation: A private application policy references an outdated FQDN and user connections fail despite successful SSO.

Direct relevant internet and private application traffic through supported cloud security enforcement with explicit user and device context. This response applies to Remote identity and traffic steering in SSE, not the controlling requirement in this case. A cloud security point of presence enforces policies only for the traffic and identities actually steered to it; the product name alone does not guarantee coverage. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Publish approved private applications through Secure Private Access with least-privilege identity and device conditions rather than broad network tunnels. Situation: A private application policy references an outdated FQDN and user connections fail despite successful SSO.
