Abstract

A threat management facility for an enterprise network integrates native threat management capabilities with threat data from a cloud service provider used by the enterprise. By properly authenticating to the cloud service and mapping data feeds from the cloud service to a native threat management environment, the threat management facility can extend threat detection and management capabilities beyond endpoint-centric techniques.
