What does the Cloudlock Apps Firewall do to mitigate security concerns from an application perspective?

The Cloudlock Apps Firewall is a feature of Cisco Cloudlock, which is a cloud-native cloud access security broker (CASB) that helps organizations move to the cloud safely. The Cloudlock Apps Firewall mitigates security concerns from an application perspective by discovering and controlling cloud apps that are connected to a company’s corporate environment, such as Google G Suite or Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AD). These cloud apps are authorized through OAuth to access corporate data and resources via APIs, and may pose risks such as data exfiltration, account compromise, or malicious behavior. The Cloudlock Apps Firewall provides visibility into the app ecosystem, including the app name, category, risk level, access scopes, and number of users. It also allows administrators to ban or allowlist apps based on their risk profile and compliance requirements. Additionally, the Cloudlock Apps Firewall leverages a crowd-sourced Community Trust Rating for each app, which reflects the feedback from other Cloudlock customers on the app’s security and functionality. References :=
