A Why do I need a CASB? Although cloud applications can accelerate and optimize your organization’s workflow and productivity, relying on them can present security risks. Threat actors increasingly use cloud platforms as attack vectors, and as opportunities to disrupt your operations or access and steal your intellectual property. To protect users and their data—and to safeguard business operations—you need to be able to track user behavior, protect sensitive data, and monitor third-party connected apps. Are cloud applications safe to use? Can a CASB make them safer? As long as you understand the risks associated with using cloud applications, you should be able to devise a strategy that helps keep them secure. A CASB should be part of that strategy because it’s specifically designed to secure interactions with cloud apps. Is a CASB all I need for cloud security? Similar to Data loss prevention (DLP) Protecting an organization’s data is usually the highest priority. A CASB performs inline and out-of-band inspection of outbound web traffic to block sensitive data from being publicly exposed or shared in the cloud ...

SASE has four main traits: 1. Identity-driven: Access is granted based on the identity of users and devices. 2. Cloud-native: Both infrastructure and security solutions are cloud-delivered. 3. Supports all edges: Every physical, digital, and logical edge is protected. 4. Globally distributed: Users are secured no matter where they work. The main goal of SASE architecture is to provide a seamless user experience, optimized connectivity, and comprehensive security in a way that supports the dynamic secure access needs of digital enterprises. Instead of backhauling traffic to traditional datacenters or private networks for security inspections, SASE enables devices and remote systems to seamlessly access apps and resources wherever they are—and at an...

A Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) acts as an intermediary between cloud providers and cloud consumers to enforce an organization's security policies for cloud application access and usage. As the workforce has evolved and grown more mobile, monitoring and classifying employees' access to and use of cloud applications has become critical to secure business operations. • Why do I need a Cloud Access Security Broker? As organizations continue to evolve and add cloud applications to their network, secure cloud application access and use is critical to business operations. There are multiple ways for attackers to use cloud apps as a way to get into the corporate network and exfiltrate sensitive data. Organizations need to monitor user behavior, protect sensitive data, and monitor third-party connected apps to protect their users and data. Should I be worried about my users leveraging applications in the cloud? The introduction of the cloud and, subsequently, cloud applications has provided businesses with a large amount of powerful tools at much lower cost. This is a great thing. With this transition, however, comes increased challenges around visibility and security. In short, no. Businesses should not be worried, but they should understand that they must deploy new tools like a CASB to help in securely utilizing cloud-native applications. Is a CASB all I need for cloud security? Similar to User security Visibility.The first obstacle for organizations trying to provide suf...

/ What Is a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)? What Is a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)? A cloud access security broker (CASB) is a visibility and control point that secures cloud applications, delivering data protection and threat protection services to prevent leakage of sensitive data, stop malware and other threats, discover and control shadow IT, and ensure compliance. Sitting between cloud app users and cloud services, CASBs can monitor traffic and user activity, automatically block threats and risky sharing, and enforce security policies such as authentication and alerting. Why Is a CASB Needed Today? With increased cloud adoption, CASBs have become attractive to enterprise security for their various cybersecurity, access control, and data protection functions. They give you back control over corporate data, in motion or at rest, in cloud platforms and apps. Today, CASBs are critical because: • The growth of cloud platforms and apps (e.g., Microsoft 365, Salesforce) has made traditional network security tools, such as data center firewalls, far less effective. • IT teams don’t have the control they once had. Almost anyone can pick up and use a new cloud app, and IT can’t manually manage granular user access controls at that scale. • They can apply policy to provide shadow IT control, The Four Pillars of CASB An effective CASB solution is constructed with four core features in mind: 1. Visibility Remote work and BYOD are creating a greater need for organizatio...

In the old days, companies commonly stored and safeguarded all of their software and data in a single on-site data center. This made security challenges more straightforward to overcome. The companies had complete visibility over their devices and those who had access to their applications and sensitive data, meaning they had virtually complete control over everything and everyone entering and exiting their data centers. Now, decades after the rise of cloud computing, it’s a completely different story. As companies moved their apps, data access, and data storage to the cloud, new security gaps started to emerge. How to overcome the lack of visibility with cloud apps? How to compensate for incomplete control over who can access the data? What’s the best way of dealing with denial-of-service (DoS) attacks? How to stop the hijacking of user accounts? What about human error and insider misuse? And the list of cloud security vulnerabilities goes on and on. These newly created security gaps had to be filled with some sort of cloud-based and cloud-delivered security solution which is specially designed with software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps in mind. This solution should add a new layer of security to make sure all activities across public and custom clouds are kept under a watchful eye and in complete control. One solution that can serve this purpose is Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) and we need to talk about it. TechRadar needs yo... Share your thoughts on Cybersecurity and...

Exploring the Path to Single-Vendor SASE: Insights from Fortinet Featuring Gartner® Gain valuable insights from two industry leaders, John Maddison (CMO & EVP Products, Fortinet) and featuring Jonathan Forest (Sr. Director Analyst, Gartner), on Tue, June 27th at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET. • Enterprise Networking CASB is a software or hardware program that sits between users and a cloud service to enforce security policies around cloud-based resources. CASBs help enterprises spot unusual or malicious activity and better manage cloud access with deep visibility and granular control. CASB was designed to secure the weaknesses of traditional legacy networks and business-critical cloud applications against emerging threats. It ensures organizations have comprehensive visibility of their network and protects their cloud applications against security threats. It also helps businesses reduce workloads and the complexity of their IT, which is crucial as employees use personal devices to access corporate networks from new locations. CASB has traditionally been the data security solution of choice for many enterprises. However, as IT infrastructures become more complex, SASE delivers broader capabilities. SASE built on the foundations of CASB but went further to address enterprises’ broader SASE provides a cloud-native architecture that enables IT to focus on core business tasks and removes the need to manage complex integrations, appliances, and interfaces manually. It is a crucial tool in s...
