Another post about SASE!🔥
This time it’s about CASB, so what is CASB exactly⁉️
In a nutshell, it is to help organisations that rely or connect to other third party Cloud Applications to have visibility and make sure it is secure even though you don’t control the Application itself.
Traditionally, organisations will have their applications on premise or DC which they can then control what is being allowed access to etc.
🪟With applications being SaaS based it can become a challenge in managing visibility, compliance and security altogether.
👻CASB acts as the middleman (broker) extending your policies to the cloud, a good example could be when users have access to Dropbox, with CASB the ability to allow a user to only upload files however without permission to download files. CASB with Data Loss Prevention (I will include more details in another post) can stop users from deleting any files.
Hope this helps! 😁
