MCAS pre and post authentication

Hi guys, I've got a couple of questions related to the authentication flow and when MCAS takes actions: 1. As far as I understand, all the proxy sessions get applied AFTER the user authentication...

Hi Dario,

 

1. Correct. MCAS apply the session controls after authentication and initial risk assessment of the session.

2. Is there a specific pre-authentication scenario you have in mind?
In general, as a CASB, MCAS focus on the user activity within the apps, hence, after the authentication.

 

Thanks,

Niv

Hi Niv,

First of all, thanks for the answer.

 

Related to point 2, I would like to know which are the controls or the capabilities I can use pre-authentication. 

 

Thanks,

Dario
