2. According to researches, nearly 80 percent of employees that
own mobile devices prefer using it to access corporate data,
given that the technique is more flexible and enables them to
work in real-time. In spite of the fact that accessing
corporate data via mobile devices signifies potential security
threat, legacy solutions were designed to combat the risk
factors. This was way before the global explosion of web
applications such as Dropbox, Facebook, etc. Since then, the
market has not seen any major modifications to the web
security system that could match pace with the large amount
of cloud applications used regularly in business environment.

solutions and do away with the traditional and ill-equipped
solutions that fail to cope up with the modern requirements.

apps, data and cloud market, organizations need to go
beyond the traditional web security concepts and consider
cloud application control (CAC) capabilities. The security
features needs to seal the basic gap between legacy security
systems and CAC to secure our approaches of using the apps.
Cloud Application Control (CAC) has initiated a modern
decree for the security domain. While CAC has proven
beneficial to a greater extent, the method must track the

users from gaining access to cloud apps and services, but
ensure security of both the user and corporate data while
users access the data and applications.
Application control is basically a process that has control
over input and output functions and the processing that
ensure the input data is valid and functions to keep the
systems and configurations secure all the time. The
requirements of each organizations varies, depending on
their requirements, but the aim is similar which to maintain
data privacy and security used by users and transferred
between applications. Few functionality that needs to be
looked upon the CAC capabilities is to examine risk factors,
audit and log all usage, and increase visibility when an issues
occurs.

5. The service providers and organizations have a specific
responsibility which is to offer them the latest approaches
accessible and upgrade their web security techniques that
can enable to secure against employees posting company's
confidential data on their feeds and transmitting them to
other cloud applications. Cloud application adoption rate has
grown significantly, service providers must engage their
customers with CAC approach and educate them about its
potential advantages.
