Cisco Webex Teams Application Security. Version 1.0 (October 2019) Cisco Webex is a cloud collaboration platform that provides messaging, calling and meeting features. The Cisco Webex Teams application is a client application that connects to this platform and provides a comprehensive tool for teamwork. Users can send messages, share files,. Sign in to Webex Teams for group chat, video calling, and sharing documents with your team. It's all backed by Cisco security and reliability.

Prerequisites

  • We suggest that you create a dedicated service account for the connection. This enables you to see that governance actions performed in Webex as being performed from this account, such as delete messages sent in Webex. Otherwise, the name of the admin who connected Cloud App Security to Webex will appear as the user who performed the actions.

  • You must have Full Administrator and Compliance Officer roles in Webex (under Roles and Security > Administrator Roles).

Connecting Cisco Webex Teams to Cloud App Security gives you improved insights into your users' activities, provides information protection detections, and enables automated governance controls.
