Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
Discover your shadow IT and govern the use of cloud applications
As organizations increasingly adopt cloud applications to drive collaboration and productivity, a significant portion of these applications are not managed by IT teams. This phenomenon, often referred to as shadow IT, poses a critical challenge for maintaining security and compliance.
Departments and individuals frequently adopt cloud apps without undergoing proper compliance checks, leading to the use of non-compliant or high-risk applications. This lack of governance also creates blind spots, as IT teams struggle to gain visibility into where sensitive corporate data is being uploaded or shared.
The absence of centralized control often results in inefficiencies, such as multiple unsanctioned apps being used for the same purpose, making it harder to manage costs, standardize processes, and ensure data security. Without a clear picture of cloud application usage and associated risks, organizations are left vulnerable to data breaches, compliance violations, and operational inefficiencies.
The Open Systems Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) addresses these challenges head-on. By providing deep visibility into cloud application usage and making it easy to enforce security policies, CASB helps organizations regain control over their cloud environments.

Why CASB Alone Isn't Enough
Once upon a time, firewalls, IDS, and AV were able to keep what was inside in and what was outside out. But those borders have been broken thanks to the cloud.
You now need more than just a CASB service – a service with complete web protection, managed and maintained by security specialists who can take over the load of security architecture integration.
