AIOPS FOR FREE Transitioned to SCM-Essential.

Ankitu — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 01:05:47 GMT

Hi Experts,

As i see some documents about AIOPS for free transitioned to SCM-Essential.

Previously, I used it for BPA live dashboards and stuff. Now i am not able to see that particular TABS in insights for both prisma access and firewalls in SCM.

Do i have to purchase licenses for SCM-PRO for BPA reports?

Also, i have 2-3 CSPs, where i have activated SCM-essentials, onboarded firewall, have done the telemetry stuff, still BPA tab is missing,

Please correct me if i am missing something in licensing part?

Hi Ankitu,

Kindly check by navigating to Posture>Feature Adoption. If this feature is not available then you will have to upgrade to SCM pro.

Hello @Ankitu

only to add to the answer from @nharia you do not need SCM Pro. The Best Practice Reporting is available in SCM Essentials. Here are references in documentation:

Strata Cloud Manager Licenses
