Microsoft Cloud App Security

What is Microsoft Cloud App Security?

Microsoft Cloud App Security (MCAS), now evolved into, is a cloud-based application security software that acts as a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) to protect your organization's data in cloud applications like Office 365, Salesforce, or Dropbox.

It gives IT admins full visibility into which cloud apps employees are using, spotting shadow IT (unauthorized apps) and risky behaviors through logs and discovery reports.

Key features include real-time monitoring for unusual activity, such as data downloads or logins from strange locations, using AI and user behavior analytics to alert on threats.

You can set policies to control access, like blocking file shares to unapproved apps, enforcing data loss prevention (DLP) to stop leaks, and integrating with Microsoft 365 for seamless protection.

It supports governance for third-party apps, OAuth controls to secure app-to-app data flows, and compliance checks for standards like GDPR.
