1) The document discusses the risks associated with the proliferation of unsanctioned cloud application usage in enterprises. Without visibility into all cloud application usage, organizations may increase security risks, leak sensitive data, and reduce efficiency. 2) CipherCloud for Cloud Discovery provides enterprises visibility and risk ratings for all cloud applications accessed by users. It continuously discovers and categorizes cloud applications, identifies risks for each, and analyzes the impact on network resources. 3) CipherCloud maintains an extensive knowledge base called CloudSource that tracks security metrics and calculates risk scores for thousands of cloud applications based on factors like encryption, location of servers, and data breaches.

1. Visibility into cloud application risks
and activity
The proliferation of cloud applications, BYOD, and
consumerization of IT have created an explosion
of unsanctioned access to cloud applications by
enterprise users. Rather than requesting services
from IT, users can easily access a wide range of cloud
services to streamline communication, share
content, collaborate with co-workers and outsiders,
or network via social media.
But this rapid growth in the use of cloud applications
introduces significant risks for enterprises. With
hundreds of new cloud services emerging daily,
there’s no assurance that they are legitimate, well
managed, follow security best practices, or are run
out of safe locations.
You can’t manage what you can’t see
Without visibility into all of your organization’s cloud
application usage you may be increasing security

across all the cloud applications accessed by your users, enabling IT staff to manage
the use of cloud applications and minimize associated risks.
risks, allowing leaks of sensitive data, and reducing
efficiency. Users can access any type of cloud
application including applications that are high
risk for the organization. Greater visibility enables
organizations to standardize on a single legitimate
provider in each cloud application category, while
keeping users happy.
Drill-down dashboards, filtering and
detailed reporting
CipherCloud for Cloud Discovery makes it simple
and cost effective to continuously discover and
categorize all the cloud applications users are
accessing, identify the risks for each application,
and analyze the impact on the company’s network
resources. Intuitive drill-down dashboards
provide detailed information on the top cloud
applications being accessed by number of events,
data volume, and risk level. Dashboard criteria
filters can generate unique views by risk level,
application category, user, group and IP address
range. In addition, our rich knowledge base,
CloudSource™
, supports a growing list of thousands
of applications. CloudSource tracks granular
risk metrics across transport security, privacy,
compliance and environment for each application.
CipherCloud for Cloud Discovery is unique
because it does not require you to share sensitive
log data outside the organization. The solution is
built on a popular and highly extensible platform,
enabling detailed analysis of logs from most
proxy servers and firewalls. The platform is highly
customizable, supporting a wide range of 3rd
party tools, and has the ability to output data
in multiple formats including CSV, XML, PDF
and JSON.
