Abstract
The technology disclosed describes a network security system (NSS) for managing cloud security posture. The NSS uses synthetic request injection to determine a security posture of a resource hosted on a cloud application for policy enforcement. The NSS receives an incoming request from a client directed toward a resource hosted on a cloud application during an application session. The NSS holds the incoming request, generates the synthetic request, and transmits the synthetic request to the cloud application. The synthetic request is designed to retrieve information specifying the security posture of the resource from the cloud application using the resource identifier. The NSS receives a response to the synthetic request from the cloud application that supplies the information specifying the security posture of the resource. The NSS applies a policy on the incoming request based on the security posture information.
