The Box integration detects a variety of data loss prevention, account misconfiguration, and user security risks in an integrated Box account that could leave you and your organization vulnerable.

## Integration prerequisites

* A Box account on a Business plan (Business, Business Plus, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus)

* Access to a Box Business account with Admin permission

## Integration permissions

For the Box integration to function, Cloudflare CASB requires the following Box permissions via an OAuth 2.0 app:

* `Read all files and folders stored in Box`

These permissions follow the principle of least privilege to ensure that only the minimum required access is granted. To learn more about the permission, refer to the [Box Scopes documentation](https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/#read-all-files-and-folders).

## Security findings

The Box integration currently scans for the following findings, or security risks. Findings are grouped by category and then ordered by [severity level](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/applications/casb/manage-findings/#severity-levels).

To stay up-to-date with new CASB findings as they are added, bookmark this page or subscribe to its [RSS feed](https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/commits/production/src/content/docs/cloudflare-one/applications/casb/casb-integrations/box.mdx.atom).

### File sharing

Identify files and folders that have been shared in a potentially insecure fashion.

To access some file findings, you may need to review shared links. For more information, refer to [View shared files](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/applications/casb/manage-findings/#view-shared-files).
