An organization wants to manage usage of a set of hosted applications, monitor user activity, and enforce security rules without installing additional hardware or routing network traffic through an inline tool. Which solution best meets these goals?
Use a broker that connects to cloud applications through direct integrations and gathers logs from each service
Install an agent on every user workstation to take over requests to the hosted platforms
Add an appliance in the data center that forces traffic to pass through a managed proxy
Place an external gateway to inspect and re-route all inbound and outbound data flows
An API-based approach integrates directly with each provider’s interface and gathers activity data at the source. This preserves the user's direct connections to hosted platforms and provides visibility and policy enforcement. Other approaches require either routing traffic through a gateway, installing an on-premises device, or modifying endpoints, which do not align with the requirement to avoid new hardware or network path changes.
