Next-Gen CASB Blog

Most organizations withhold extremely sensitive data, and to prevent that information from leaking externally, they have turned to data loss prevention (DLP) tools. In the past, these organizations would apply DLP tools to their on-premises storage solutions, but as companies started to migrate to the cloud, their security strategy was in need of a change. Consequently, organizations began to adopt cloud access security brokers (CASBs) to protect their data. To learn about the integration between CASBs and DLP solutions, check out our latest Glass Class.

Malware can be a serious threat to organizations that don't have the proper security tools to protect against it. Some forms of malware can force enterprises to pay sums of dollars, freeze current operations, and more depending on the type of attack. To make matters worse, some malware attacks can lead to sensitive data being leaked, which has caused some companies to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines over the past few years. In our latest Glass Class, we discuss how to classify malware, and the type of tools organizations can use to put a halt to malicious attacks in real time.
