Custom public app overview

Cloud Secure Edge’s app discovery feature tracks thousands of public applications, surfacing those resources that are critical to your organization’s security posture. In some cases, however, admins may want to identify and secure apps that Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) hasn’t already surfaced via the discovery feature.

With custom public app creation, admins can identify public apps that CSE has not pre-populated in the app discovery list. This allows admins to easily surface, secure, and monitor apps that are critical to business.
