XDR - Cloud App Catalog - Mark Multiple Apps as Unsanctioned

Hi,

I am reviewing the complete Cloud Apps catalog that Microsoft maintains, which allows apps to be marked as sanctioned or unsanctioned. I would like, either via API or another method, to provide a list of apps (by name) and have them tagged or directly marked as unsanctioned.

This functionality would be useful for me to block a list of RMM tools obtained from lolrmm.io.

Is there a way to pass a list of apps to Defender for Cloud Apps and have them automatically tagged or marked as unsanctioned?

Thanks

    Hello Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    Well, there's two way I like to do it.

    1. Manual Tagging via Portal

    Navigate to Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps portal.

    Go to Discovered Apps under Cloud Discovery.

    Use filters or search to locate apps (e.g., RMM tools from lolrmm.io).

    Select multiple apps and mark them as unsanctioned.

    This triggers integration with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to block access via endpoint policies.

    1. Governance via Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
    • If Defender for Endpoint is integrated, unsanctioned apps can be blocked at the device level.
    • You can automate this using Endpoint DLP policies or custom indicators.
