What is the function of Cisco Cloudlock for data security?

Cisco Cloudlock, as a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), provides critical data security capabilities including Data Loss Prevention (DLP). DLP in Cloudlock ensures that sensitive data stored or transmitted within cloud applications is identified, monitored, and protected against unauthorized access, sharing, or exfiltration, thus directly addressing data security.

While Cisco Cloudlock helps control malicious and risky cloud applications (e.g., shadow IT), this is a broader threat protection function, whereas data loss prevention is a more direct and specific function for data security.

Detecting anomalies is a method or capability employed by Cloudlock for identifying unusual behavior or threats, but it is not the primary *function* of Cloudlock for data security itself; rather, anomaly detection supports functions like DLP or threat protection.

User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) is a technique used by security solutions like Cloudlock to detect suspicious activities, but it is a methodology rather than the core *function* of Cloudlock for ensuring data security.
