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.

With the various tools used in today’s cloud-first world, it could be confusing for organizations to find the correct tools they need to protect sensitive data. In light of this, Bitglass and Zscaler have partnered with each other to provide a solution to create a safe zone for the use of unsanctioned cloud applications. To find out more about how the Bitglass cloud access security broker (CASB) integrates with the Zscaler secure web gateway (SWG), check out our latest Glass Class.

With the emergence of cloud adoption and BYOD in the workplace, companies are experiencing an overwhelming amount of data breaches. This is largely because they are not taking the appropriate steps to secure data in the cloud. As such, Bitglass conducted a survey with IT professionals from a leading cybersecurity community in order to uncover the state of security within organizations today.

It seems like the same question comes up with just about every customer or prospect: "Will your product introduce additional latency into our cloud app environment?" It's a legitimate question since our hybrid CASB architecture includes proxies for real-time policy enforcement. If you guessed that the Bitglass proxy would be slower, you would be wrong!

By definition, a proxy includes an additional network hop, so how is that possible? First, let's look at some data.
