Cloud Access Security Broker

Cloud Access Security Broker

CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) is defined as a cloud-hosted software or on-premises software or hardware that enacts as an intermediate between users and cloud service providers. The goal of a CASB is to address gaps in security and extend it across software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) environments. In addition to providing visibility, a CASB also allows organizations to expand the reach of their security policies beyond its existing on-premises infrastructure to the cloud and create new policies for cloud-specific context. In other words, a CASB helps to enforce security, governance, and compliance policies for all your cloud-related applications.

Today, CASBs are a vital part of any enterprise security, as it allows businesses to safely use the cloud while protecting sensitive official data.
