Last week, security startup Skyfence emerged from stealth with technology—its Cloud Application Gateway—that leverages user behavior as a key tool for cloud security.

The Skyfence Cloud Application Gateway includes automatic policies that learn what normal user behavior is for application access, according to Hendler.

It’s an approach that Skyfence refers to as dynamic user fingerprinting.
