Explanation

Cloud App Security is built around three core protective functions: Cloud Data Loss Prevention (A) monitors and secures sensitive data flowing through cloud apps, Apps Firewall (D) controls and filters application-layer traffic to block unauthorized or malicious access, and DNS-Layer Protection (E) stops threats at the DNS resolution stage before a connection is even established - making it a foundational first line of defense.

Rapid Breach Remediation (B) is an incident response service, not a structural element of Cloud App Security - it's what you do after a breach, not how the product is built. User and Entity Behavior Analytics (C), while valuable, belongs primarily to SIEM and threat-detection platforms (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel, Cisco Stealthwatch) rather than being a core pillar of Cloud App Security architecture.

Memory tip: Think of the acronym "DAD" - DNS-Layer Protection, Apps Firewall, DLP - three layers that guard the door to your cloud environment.
