Skyfence enables organizations to extend corporate security standards to cloud applications. The �bring-your-own cloud�
(BYOC) app trend embodied by Salesforce.com, Dropbox, Office 365, NetSuite, and hundreds of others has created a blind
spot for IT that is not addressed by traditional perimeter security and endpoint controls. These cloud-based services can be
spun up on the fly by employees with a credit card, without involvement from IT or the corporate bureaucracy. The Skyfence
Cloud Gateway automatically discovers and catalogs all cloud applications accessed by users (both sanctioned and
unsanctioned �shadow IT� apps) and accurately analyzes related risks. This allows IT to gain visibility and control over these

apps to protect data and ensure safe and productive use.

Using Dynamic User and Device Fingerprinting™ technology, Skyfence establishes complete and detailed profiles of behavior
based on corporate policies and normal usage patterns. Any anomalous activity can be configured to immediately generate
an alert, be blocked, or require two-factor identity verification. Skyfence�s ability to monitor traffic at every level of the cloud
application allows its anomaly-detection engine to dynamically learn and maintain a very reliable fingerprint of each user�s
normal access and usage patterns. It does not require Security Administrators to understand an application�s logic or write
specific security policies or rules. Skyfence integrates with Single Sign-On and SAML-based authentication mechanisms,

can be deployed in-line or in offline mode, and is available as a cloud service or an on-premise appliance (physical or virtual).
