Abstract
Provided herein are techniques to facilitate enhanced cloud access security broker (CASB) functionality via in-band application observability in which a CASB can be implemented in-line between the client device and an embedded application security service. In one instance, a method may include, obtaining, by a CASB from a client device, a first message for an application transaction involving an application operating via the client device. The first message can be augmented to include first security metadata and can be forwarded to trigger one or more actions by an embedded application security service associated with the application. The CASB may obtain a second message from the embedded application security service that includes second security metadata, and one or more actions can be triggered at the CASB based, at least in part, on the second security metadata included in the second message.
