Next-Gen CASB Blog

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.

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.  

In a sea of millions of apps, which one is the biggest fish to fry? Firewall and proxy logs catch the traffic of users, but identifying what needs attention in such comprehensive logs can be overwhelming. Shadow IT discovery offers the ability to narrow down the search to apps that should be more closely monitored and controlled.
