Cloud App Security not only discovers 13,000 cloud applications in use, but also provides a risk score by evaluating each discovered service against more than 60 parameters: evaluating the service provider, security mechanisms, and compliance certifications. These details help determine and assess the credibility and reliability of each cloud service discovered, represented by a risk score. Cloud App Security gives you the tools to perform a total risk assessment for each service, based on a combination of risk score and usage.

Discovering which applications are in use across an organization is just the first step in making sure sensitive corporate data is protected. Understanding use cases, identifying top users, and determining the risk associated with each application are all important components to understanding an organization's overall risk posture. With Cloud App Security, get the ongoing risk detection, analytics, and powerful reporting on users, usage patterns, upload/download traffic, and transactions so that you can identify anomalies right away.

Granular-control security policies can be built easily. You can use out-of-the-box policies or build and customize your own. Every insight is actionable, allowing you to remediate with a single click or implement data sharing and granular usage policies.

You can govern data in the cloud, such as files that are stored in cloud drives, as attachments, or within cloud application fields. Use pre-defined fields or extend existing enterprise DLP policies to your SaaS applications. Dynamic reports can run on DLP violations, sensitive file sharing, and datasharing violations. Data control in the cloud helps you comply with regulatory mandates such as PCI, HIPPA, and more.

Cloud App Security helps you to stay ahead of attackers. You can identify anomalies in your cloud usage that may be indicative of a data breach. Cloud App Security advanced machine learning heuristics learn how each user interacts with each SaaS application and, through behavioral analysis, assesses the risks in each transaction. This includes simultaneous logins from two countries, the sudden download of terabytes of data, or multiple failed login attempts that may signify a brute force attack.

The discovery feature identifies more than 13,000 apps that are being used and assesses risk - no agents required - Cloud App Security collects information from firewalls and proxies.

Cloud App Security is scalable, non-intrusive, and integrates with the enterprise cloud framework. It provides a simple deployment and management process. You can integrate with your existing SIEM, IAM, SSO, and analytical solutions.

Anomaly detection draws from Microsoft's vast amount of threat intelligence and security research data. Cloud App Security benefits from Microsoft's holistic, agile security platform, and is informed by insights from our intelligent security graph.
