Two CAS's? -- confused about discovery through agents on windows clients vs firewall log

    Hi Neil,

     

    Thanks for writing in. Sorry about the confusion around the guidance on how to move to the new and enhanced experience for Azure Active Directory Cloud App Discovery. The link from the Azure portal banner has been corrected to point to - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/cloudappdiscovery-get-started which has the right guidance on how to get started with the new and enhanced experience. 

     

    Regarding the agent-based discovery(current) experience - it will stay live until March 5th, 2018, after which the UI will be disabled. Shortly after, the agents and data will be deleted as well and hence our recommendation for Azure AD Cloud App Discovery is that customers move to the new and enhanced experience and set up the necessary snapshot reports before March 5th to avoid disruption of service. After March 5th, when customers access Cloud App Discovery, they will automatically be directed to http://portal.cloudappsecurity.com and the new experience will be the default.

     

    Communication regarding this was sent out to currently active customers in early December and the portal notification was intended to help serve as a reminder of upcoming deadlines. Hope this clarifies.
