Cloud Security (CASB) is a security service designed to protect access to cloud environments and storage, providing visibility and control over both sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud applications.
The solution enables organizations to discover SaaS applications in use, assess their risk levels, and implement control mechanisms to protect user accounts and data stored in the cloud. It also helps mitigate risks associated with unauthorized use of cloud services (shadow IT).
Cloud Security strikes a balance between user flexibility and IT control. Users can work with the applications they need, while IT teams maintain full visibility, security, and policy compliance.
The solution continuously monitors user and administrator activities, analyzes behavior, and detects suspicious or risky actions, including insider threats. It also ensures protection of user identities and sensitive data within cloud storage environments.
