Networks can have quite a few homegrown applications that are hosted through a service provider. These applications typically don’t have an application specific inline connector to be able to track or detect various activities (login, upload, download, edit, etc.). Administrators can choose to use predefined, universal, or custom connectors. If your organization must rely on universal connectors, which might not always be successful in detecting all activities for custom applications, you can create app definitions so traffic can be steered to Netskope for deep analysis.
On the App Definition page, you can add cloud apps, firewall apps, private apps, and certificate pinned apps.
