This article describes how to generate a Cato GenAI Report that highlights GenAI usage in your account and the associated risks.
Cato provides a Predefined Report template that summarizes how GenAI is used in your account. The report can be run for your entire account or filtered by specific Sites or Users. This report can be used as a key part of your strategy to protect your organization and its sensitive data while enabling secure AI application usage. For more information, see Securing AI App Traffic.
You can generate the GenAI report as either a:
-
One-Time Report: On-demand report which, by default shows GenAI usage over the past week. After the report is generated it can be downloaded from the CMA
-
Scheduled Report: Based on predefined frequency. After the report is generated it can be downloaded from the CMA or sent to a Mailing List
For more about working with Predefined Reports, see Cato Reports.
Create a new Scheduled report, and define the Filters for the items included in the report. Then define the Report Schedule which defines how often the report is generated - daily, weekly, or monthly. Generated reports are stored in the Cato Cloud, and they can be automatically emailed or downloaded. The Report Schedule also defines the time range that is covered by each report. The time range starts at 00:00 UTC (inclusive) at the start of each period and ends at 00:00 UTC (non-inclusive) at the end of the period.
You can select the Mailing List of email addresses for the recipients, the list can include Cato Management Application admins and external users.
For more information about Mailing Lists, see Working with Mailing Lists.
To create a scheduled GenAI report:
-
From the navigation pane, select Home > Reports.
-
From the Predefined Reports tab, click New > Scheduled report. The Scheduled Report panel opens.
-
Enter the Report Name for the Predefined Report.
-
In Type, select GenAI Report.
-
(Optional) In Filters, select specific sites or users for the Predefined Report.
By default, the Predefined Report includes all sites and users.
To include multiple sites or users in the report, use the IN operator.
-
In Report Schedule, configure these settings:
-
Select the Frequency that the report is automatically sent: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
-
For Weekly and Monthly Scheduled reports, in Every select the day that the report is sent.
-
-
In Subscriptions, select the Mailing List that receives the report.
You can click New to create a new mailing list.
-
Click Save. The report template is added to the Predefined Reports tab.
A new Scheduled report is generated based on the Report Schedule settings. For example, a weekly report configured for Monday is generated every Monday. You can also choose to manually generate a Predefined Report, and the generated report uses the same time range based on the current day. If an admin manually generates a weekly report on a Tuesday, the time range for the report is the previous 7 days starting from that Tuesday, regardless of the starting day of the Scheduled report.
Create a new One-time report template, and define the Filters for the items included in the report. Then define the Time Range that the report covers.
To create a One-Time GenAI report:
-
From the navigation pane, select Home > Reports.
-
From the Predefined Reports tab, click New > One-time report. The One-time report panel opens.
-
Enter the Report Name for the Predefined Report.
-
In Type, select GenAI Report.
-
(Optional) In Filters, select specific sites or users for the Predefined Report.
By default, the Predefined Report includes all sites and users.
To include multiple sites or users in the report, use the IN operator.
-
Select the Time Range of the report.
For a Custom range, select the start date (From) and the end date (To) for the Predefined Report.
-
Click Save. The report template is added to the Predefined Reports tab.
You can also click Save & Generate, and then the report is generated and you can download it from the Generated Reports tab.
