Explanation

In CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) and cloud governance frameworks (including Palo Alto Prisma), SaaS applications are classified into categories. 'Sanctioned' SaaS applications are those officially approved and adopted by IT for business use - they deliver clear business value, are quickly deployable (no on-premises infrastructure), have minimal upfront cost (subscription model), and scale infinitely with demand. 'Tolerated' applications are used by employees but not formally endorsed. 'Unsanctioned' (shadow IT) apps are used without IT knowledge or approval. 'Benign' and 'Secure' are not standard SaaS classification categories in this framework.
