Abstract

A cloud-based security service that includes external evaluation for accessing a third-party application. The security service receives a request to access a third-party application from a client device. The security service enforces a set of one or more access policies configured for the third-party application including an external evaluation rule. As part of enforcing the external evaluation rule, the security service transmits an external evaluation request to an external endpoint defined in the external evaluation rule. The external evaluation request includes an identity of a user associated with the request. The security service receives the result of the external evaluation. If the external evaluation passed, the security service grants access to the third-party application based at least in part on its passing.
