Synthetic request injection to improve object security posture for cloud security enforcement

摘要

The technology disclosed describes a system. The system comprises a network security system interposed between clients and cloud applications. The network security system is configured to receive from a client an incoming request to upload an object to a cloud application over an application session. The object is subject to policy enforcement by the network security system. The network security system is further configured to generate a synthetic request, upload the object to the cloud application, and inject the synthetic request into the application session to transmit the synthetic request to the cloud application. The synthetic request is configured to modify a security posture of the uploaded object in dependence upon the policy enforcement.
