In today’s modern workforce, telecommuting, accessing corporate data via personal mobile devices, and cloud-first ecosystems have become the norm. As a result, organizations must rethink their security strategies. Context-based solutions that can enforce policies based on users identity, location, and device, are crucial if organizations intend on enabling access to sensitive data to their employees. SASE, which stands for secure access service edge, enables enterprises to deploy a comprehensive security platform equipped with granular security measures that can protect IT infrastructure.

In 2020, organizations must focus on improving their cloud security posture in order to protect corporate data. There are many opportunities for employee missteps causing inadvertent or even malicious exposure. Additionally, without safeguards, hackers also pose a risk and must be protected against. Watch this episode of Glass Class to see Bitglass’ VP of Product, Mike Schuricht, outline the top security priorities organizations should evaluate and adopt for this upcoming year. 

G Suite is a set of cloud based productivity tools developed by Google. The Suite of products is comprised of Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and more. These collaborative tools generally increase productivity and efficiency across organizations that utilize them. While these services are free to use for all consumers alike, they must be cognizant of how their sensitive data is uploaded to these cloud applications and how it is being secured. Organizations must deploy the proper tools that serve as additional layers of security for critical data uploaded to the cloud. Bitglass, a multi-mode cloud access security broker (CASB), provides end to end security without compromising the user experience or invading user privacy.

Integrated cloud apps are becoming vital to the way people are working in this day and age. We adopt new cloud applications quickly and don’t often think about the risk associated with sharing the data. Cloud integration increases productivity and accessibility, and allows workers to be much more flexible with their work – but with that gift comes a security risk. Watch this week’s Glass Class to learn about the role Bitglass’ CASB plays in today’s cloud-first world.
