Explanation

Application tags in Palo Alto Networks allow administrators to group applications by custom or predefined attributes (e.g., 'business-systems', 'saas'). When Palo Alto updates its App-ID content database with new applications, those new apps automatically inherit matching tags. Security policies built around those tags then automatically apply to the newly identified applications - removing the need to manually update policies every time a new application is added to the content database.
