The Skope IT Application Events log, as shown in the exhibit, provides deep contextual visibility into user interactions with cloud applications. The columns explicitly display the username ("User"), the specific account instance ("App Instance"), the URL category ("Category"), the user activity ("Activity"), and the cloud app risk rating ("CCI" - Cloud Confidence Index). While not shown as a distinct column in this specific view, Netskope's platform inherently captures the device location based on the source IP address, which is a standard and available data point within Skope IT for policy enforcement and analytics. These elements are fundamental to the Netskope Security Cloud's ability to monitor and secure cloud usage.

B. Destination IP is network-level data not prioritized in this application-centric view, and OS patch version is overly granular endpoint information not typically logged here.

E. File version and shared folder are content-specific attributes that are not standard, discrete fields in application event logs, though they may appear within the "Object" description.
