What is a CASB?

A Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) is a security solution placed between cloud service users and providers to enforce security policies, monitor activity, and protect sensitive data.

Key Functions of a CASB:

  • Visibility into cloud application usage.
  • Data loss prevention (DLP) to protect sensitive information.
  • Threat protection against malware and compromised accounts.
  • Compliance monitoring for regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA.

CASBs help organizations securely adopt cloud applications without sacrificing control over sensitive data.
