Box

The Box integration detects a variety of data loss prevention, account misconfiguration, and user security risks in an integrated Box account that could leave you and your organization vulnerable.

​​ Integration prerequisites

  • A Box account on a Business plan (Business, Business Plus, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus)

  • Access to a Box Business account with Admin permission

​​ Integration permissions

For the Box integration to function, Cloudflare CASB requires the following Box permissions via an OAuth 2.0 app:

  • Read all files and folders stored in Box

These permissions follow the principle of least privilege to ensure that only the minimum required access is granted. To learn more about the permission, refer to the Box Scopes documentation.

​​ Security findings

The Box integration currently scans for the following findings, or security risks. Findings are grouped by category and then ordered by severity level.

To stay up-to-date with new CASB findings as they are added, bookmark this page or subscribe to its RSS feed.

​​ File sharing

Identify files and folders that have been shared in a potentially insecure fashion.

To access some file findings, you may need to review shared links. For more information, refer to View shared files.
