Abstract
A data protection policy can specify which applications are allowed and/or dis-allowed from accessing cloud data that is subject to a data protection policy (i.e., data that has been assigned a classification and/or an owner.) To enforce that policy, the operating system (or other trusted entity) that stores or caches access credentials only provides these credentials to applications that are allowed by the policy. In this manner, because they are not provided with the credentials required to access the network resource, the dis-allowed applications cannot access the 'protected' data thereby helping prevent these dis-allowed (or non-compliant) applications from leaking data.
