CASB is a service or application that allows organizations to set corporate security policies when accessing the organization’s cloud services. In this way this application forces users to have to comply with the policies established by the service administrators.Some of the functionalities offered by CASB are:
- Visibility and control, allowing organizations to have such functions of cloud services whether they are managed or not by the IT department, allowing them to profile not only the access or not to a service, but the functions that can be performed on it depending on whether the instance is corporate or personal.
- Data security, allowing IT departments to efficiently detect, thanks to the interaction with other modules such as DLP, possible data security violations, allowing to identify and stop such activities as well as providing the necessary tools for further analysis by the IT department.
- Protection against advanced threats, limiting the use of non-corporate and unauthorized instances, which can be used for the propagation of phishing and threats, performing an analysis prior to the execution of scripts or macros as well as using Machine Learning.
