Data leakage protection in cloud applications

A computer-implemented method within client and separate from a data leakage protection hardware system and a cloud application, comprising:

• transmitting, by the client, a communication to the cloud application;
• and
• receiving, from the data leakage protection hardware system and by the client, a revised response, wherein
• the data leakage protection hardware system selects, from a plurality of monitoring templates and based upon the communication, a monitoring template corresponding to the cloud application,
• the monitoring template is used to generate a template, and
• a response by the cloud application and to the communication is revised to include the monitor and forms the revised response.

A client hardware system positioned separate from a data leakage protection hardware system and a cloud application, comprising:

• a computer hardware processor configured to initiate the following operations:
• transmitting, by the client hardware system, a communication to the cloud application;
• and
• receiving, from the data leakage protection hardware system and by the client hardware system, a revised response, wherein
• the data leakage protection hardware system selects, from a plurality of monitoring templates and based upon the communication, a monitoring template corresponding to the cloud application,
• the monitoring template is used to generate a template, and
• a response by the cloud application and to the communication is revised to include the monitor and forms the revised response.

A computer program product, comprising

• a computer usable hardware storage device having computer usable program code stored therein,
• the computer usable program code, which when executed by a client hardware system positioned separate from a data leakage protection hardware system and a cloud application, causes the client hardware system to perform:
• transmitting, by the client hardware system, a communication to the cloud application;
• and
• receiving, from the data leakage protection hardware system and by the client hardware system, a revised response, wherein
• the data leakage protection hardware system selects, from a plurality of monitoring templates and based upon the communication, a monitoring template corresponding to the cloud application,
• the monitoring template is used to generate a template, and
• a response by the cloud application and to the communication is revised to include the monitor and forms the revised response.
