Microsoft Cloud App Security and Cloud App Security

Image
Microsoft Cloud App Security and Cloud App Security CAS is a great security tool that can help identify shadow IT and protect your environments against nefarious behaviours. Effectively there are two versions.  Which can confuse people somewhat.  The two versions are: Microsoft Cloud App Security - Is the full MCAS solution (available with E5) Cloud App Security - CAS or Office 365 CAS is a cut down version of MCAS (Available with E3) The main different in my opinion is that with Office 365 CAS you can't automatically upload logs from syslog servers.  Therefore to gain insights into what your users are doing you will need to upload snapshots from your firewalls, web filters and other third party devices manually.  The following link from Microsoft goes through the full differences between the two product versions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-app-security/editions-cloud-app-security-o365
