Note

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (previously known as Microsoft Cloud App Security) is now part of Microsoft 365 Defender. The Microsoft 365 Defender portal allows security admins to perform their security tasks in one location. This will simplify workflows, and add the functionality of the other Microsoft 365 Defender services. Microsoft 365 Defender will be the home for monitoring and managing security across your Microsoft identities, data, devices, apps, and infrastructure. For more information about these changes, see Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps in Microsoft 365 Defender.

If you work with both Defender for Cloud Apps and Corrata, you can integrate the two products to enhance your security Cloud Discovery experience for mobile app use. Corrata, as a local Mobile gateway, monitors your organization's traffic from mobile devices enabling you to set policies for blocking transactions. Together, Defender for Cloud Apps and Corrata provide the following capabilities:

  • Seamless deployment of Cloud Discovery - Use Corrata to collect your mobile device traffic and send it to Defender for Cloud Apps. This eliminates the need for installation of log collectors on your network endpoints to enable Cloud Discovery.
  • Corrata's block capabilities are automatically applied on apps you set as unsanctioned in Defender for Cloud Apps.
  • Enhance your Corrata portal with the Defender for Cloud Apps risk assessment for leading cloud apps, which can be viewed directly in the Corrata portal.
