Abstract
At least one embodiment relates to a method and a system for cloud application visibility of network traffic. The method includes: receiving, from a network gateway, hardware identity extracted from network session traffic for accessing cloud-based application services, wherein the hardware identities correspond to user devices that initiate the network session traffic; receiving, from an application processing engine, user credentials decoded from the network session traffic, wherein the user credentials authorize the network session traffic to access the cloud-based application services; and matching the hardware identities with the user credential to identify a user who uses multiple user devices or multiple user credentials to access the cloud-based application services.
