Box

FortiCASB offers an API-based approach, pulling data directly from Box via RESTful API. Authentication is done through OAUth2.0. FortiCASB uses an access token for API queries.

Prerequisites

To use API access, your organization must be using one of the following editions (the API is enabled by default):

  • Business Edition
  • Enterprise Edition
  • Developer Edition

The user account installed in FortiCASB must have the following permissions:

  • Read and write all files and folders stored in Box
  • Manage users
  • Manage groups
  • Manage enterprise properties

You may either use an existing account or create a new account. If you create a new account, wait at least 24 hours for the new account to take effect before granting access to FortiCASB.

The following features require "Admin User" permission as well:

  • User login tracking
  • User IP address tracking
  • Geographical location tracking
  • User password change tracking
  • Change admin role tracking

Without "Admin User" permissions, FortiCASB cannot obtain user login IPs. Therefore, any user activity will not appear on the Activity map.

Installation
  1. From the menu on the left-hand side, select Overview > Dashboard.
  2. From the Cloud App Status widget, click ADD, located next to Box.
  3. Click OK.
  4. You will be navigated to the Box website for authentication.

  5. Log in to authenticate.
  6. Box will prompt you to allow or deny access.

  7. Click Allow to grant FortiCASB permissions to monitor your Box application.

After you click Allow, you will be redirected back to the FortiCASB dashboard.

You can check the installation result and SaaS platform monitoring status in the Box dashboard.
