Abstract

Systems and methods include identifying a cloud application; performing one or more automated scripts to determine a first set of attributes of the cloud application; obtaining a second set of attributes of the cloud application based on a manual analysis; obtaining weighting factors for the first set of attributes and the second set of attributes; determining a risk score of the cloud application based on the first set of attributes and the second set of attributes and the associated weighting factors; and displaying the risk score of the cloud application. The steps can further include enforcing security policies for the cloud application based on the risk score, such as via one of a cloud-based system and a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) system.
