Hi, it’s been 4 months after my last post. Now I’m posting about Cloud App Discovery which is one of Azure Active Directory Premium feature that enable you to discover cloud app applications that are uses by the employees in your organization.

As a consequence of this, administrators often have concerns in conjunction with unauthorized access to corporate data, possible data leakage and other security risks inherent in the applications.

You can address these concerns by using Cloud App Discovery.
