Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method of exchanging on-premise network analytics and cloud-based application analytics between an enterprise network and a cloud-based application without exchanging any personally identifiable information about the end users and devices involved in a communication session conducted over the enterprise network and using the cloud-based application. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a controller of a network, first analytics data, the first analytics data being embedded with a watermark, the first analytics data excluding personally identifiable information associated with end points of a communication session using a cloud-based application; receiving second analytics data from one or more components of the network, the second analytics data including the watermark; correlating the first analytics data and the second analytics data using the watermark to yield correlated data; and performing network analysis and troubleshooting using the correlated data.
