Legacy security technology is not designed to secure data as it moves beyond the perimeter and into a variety of cloud apps and devices. While leading cloud access security brokers are up to the challenge, they come in many different shapes and sizes, and some are more limited than others. In this blog, we’ll highlight a few key areas for you to consider when evaluating which CASB to deploy; we’re pretty confident about how Bitglass stacks up against the competition.
Cloud access security brokers (CASBs) are the go-to solutions for securing the use of cloud-based tools. Whether it’s major software-as-a-service apps, niche or long-tail SaaS apps, custom apps built on IaaS platforms, or something else entirely, CASBs are used to protect data wherever it goes. However, not all CASBs are created equal. In this blog we will review the different CASB architectures and the importance of one deployment option in particular--reverse proxy.
In part one, we set the stage by discussing the rise of cloud, BYOD, and remote work, as well as the need for organizations to refresh their approaches to security so they can address these three trends. In this blog, we will discuss how organizations can secure managed SaaS like Office 365, ServiceNow, Salesforce, and G Suite with Bitglass. While cloud app vendors are responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure that supports their apps, it is up to their customers to use the apps safely, which can be a challenge when it comes to remote work. Fortunately, Bitglass’ cloud access security broker (CASB) can secure the use of any SaaS app anywhere. Read on to learn how!
Over the last several years, the IT landscape and the business world have undergone extensive changes. Data, applications, and even infrastructure have all been moving off premises at an ever-increasing rate, while remote and personal devices are being granted unprecedented access to corporate IT systems both in the cloud and on premises. Bitglass research has shown that 86% of organizations now make use of the cloud, and that 85% now enable bring your own device (BYOD) in some capacity. Interestingly, both of these trends enable and are fueled by the rise of employees working remotely.
