The rapid adoption of cloud services has led to a new class of security, compliance, and data governance headaches. Enter the Cloud Access Security Broker or CASB.
The market for CASBs emerged as a result of enterprise IT usage trends brought on from the transition to the cloud and BYOx era. With an on-premise network, IT possesses extensive visibility as well as robust security and policy enforcement controls. The adoption of cloud services and increased access of corporate data from unmanaged devices results in a loss of visibility and control for IT.
We will discuss real-world pain points that drive the need for auditing SaaS usage, securing and monitoring sensitive data in the cloud, and enforcing policies to comply with various internal and external regulatory requirements, and share frameworks enterprises and government agencies have leveraged to gain visibility and control over the cloud.
