What is a CASB?
A Cloud Security Access Broker (CASB) is a security solution that sits between users and cloud service providers to enforce security policies and provide visibility into cloud usage. It helps manage risks associated with Shadow IT and cloud adoption.
CASB integrates with Identity and Access Management (IAM) and provides capabilities such as data protection, threat detection, and compliance monitoring.
What is a CASB used for?
CASB is used to control access to cloud applications, enforce Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies, and monitor user activity. It helps organizations manage risks associated with cloud environments.
Security teams use CASB to improve Security Posture, reduce Attack Surface, and align with Zero Trust and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) strategies.
