Bitglass was just recognised in KuppingerCole’s Market Compass for Cloud Access Security Brokers. For modern organisations, CASBs are go-to solutions that are designed to secure the use of cloud-based resources like software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platforms.
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!
