Greasing the
cloud security wheel with CASB

Organizations are shifting to the cloud rapidly to gain a competitive edge. However, the lift and shift approach to cloud migration has affected cloud security due to the critical differences that exist between on-demand and on-premises environments.

While security teams scramble to develop strategies to secure the cloud, attackers capitalize on misconfigurations and other security loopholes. Further, the use of shadow applications makes it easier for attackers to exploit vulnerable networks.

A cloud access security broker, or CASB, is a one-stop solution that helps organizations secure their cloud environments. CASBs constantly monitor the cloud and identify malicious traffic that can harm the network.
