Security "Bits"

Cloud adoption has granted unprecedented data accessibility over the years. As data continues its migration to the cloud, industries the world over are experiencing a vast increase in organizational productivity and efficiency.

These are only a couple of the far-reaching benefits that cloud adoption offers. However, the growth in accessibility is accompanied by extensive risks and threats that can easily compromise large pools of data. Therefore, while the cloud enables employees to work on and off-premises from a multitude of devices, organizations must be mindful of which security tools they implement to secure it.

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. 

With 2019 at its tail end, I can't help but reminisce on how eventful the year has been for the Bitglass family. We started the year by securing yet another round of funding to fuel our growth and went on to be featured as a leader in Gartner's 2019 Magic Quadrant for CASBs.

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.
