Microsoft announced today that the security service it uses for the Cloud (Cloud App Security) and is based on the technology resulting from the acquisition of Adallom in 2015, it is now available for anyone who wishes to use it.
"The solution provides a set of possibilities to help design companies enforce a process to ensure the use of the Cloud. "From discovering and exploring capabilities to controlling and protecting," the Cloud App Security team said in a statement.
"It is easy to deploy, install and use and provides instant out-of-the-box features, as well as rich unlocking advanced features."
In general, these tools allow companies to see which services cloud employees use, and then they can limit that use.
The service can be integrated with firewalls and proxies from various vendors, including Blue Coat, Cisco, Palo Alto, Check Point, Juniper, and Sophos.
When it comes to cloud services, the new tool can be easily used for the services Amazon Web Services, Box, Dropbox, Google Apps, Office 365, ServiceNow, and Salesforce.
The launch of the technology means that Microsoft is now competing with Skyhigh Networks, Netskope, Elastica, and other cloud security companies.
