In the realm of cloud security, the platform’s network and the partners supporting it hold equal importance. You need an experienced leader in networking and security, one who has the vision and expertise to guide your organization as it grows and adapts.
While cloud computing offers flexibility for employees and IT teams, it also brings new security risks and challenges for your business. To maximize the advantages of cloud applications and services, your IT team must find the right balance between granting access and protecting sensitive data.
This is where a Cloud App Security Broker (CASB) comes in, bridging the gap by securing your organization’s cloud service usage in alignment with your enterprise’s security standards. As gatekeepers, CASBs manage real-time access between users and cloud resources, regardless of location or device.
IT Cloud Space achieves this by identifying Shadow IT, tracking app usage, monitoring for abnormal user behaviors, controlling access to resources, preventing sensitive data leaks, defending against malicious actors, and assessing the compliance of cloud services.
MCAS supports over 16,000 applications. When you utilize any of these apps, MCAS analyzes usage patterns, access points, and other critical data. It even monitors proxy server logs for these applications, offering detailed insights into their activity.
Microsoft Cloud App Security, a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), offers multiple deployment options to fit your needs. It provides robust visibility, enables control over data movement, and uses advanced analytics to identify and counter cyber threats across your cloud services.
Apps from the Microsoft Store are generally more trustworthy than others, as they undergo a thorough security, technical, and content compliance review by Microsoft’s team. Additionally, they operate in a sandbox environment, preventing interference with other system components.
Defender for Cloud secures Azure workloads, including AWS and GCP, expanding its focus beyond Azure alone. In contrast, Defender for Cloud Applications specializes in managing shadow IT, controlling end-user SaaS access, and enforcing policy. Cloud App Security (CASB) further provides enterprise-grade visibility, governance, and protection for all cloud applications, helping manage risks and secure both sanctioned and unsanctioned applications.
