Microsoft announces general availability of Microsoft Cloud App Security

As announced few months back, Microsoft today announced the general availability of Microsoft Cloud App Security. This new security product is based on the technology it acquired from Adallom. It helps customers take advantage of the benefits of cloud applications while maintaining control through improved visibility of activity and increased protection over critical company data.

Microsoft Cloud App Security brings the same level of visibility and control that IT departments have in their on-premises network to their SaaS applications including apps like Box, SalesForce, ServiceNow, Ariba, and of course Office 365.
