sensitive data in the cloud in order to
ensure data residency and compliance
requirements are met.
That’s precisely why IT teams need
to adopt an effective cloud access
security broker (CASB) solution that can
help address visibility and compliance
issues head-on. What’s more, this
type of solution will also help with
data security and threat protection by
enforcing encryption, tokenisation and
access control, as well as detecting and
responding to all types of cyberthreats
impacting the cloud.
Putting it all together
In an ever-changing threat landscape,
implementation of the proper controls
and data management, in combination
with effective cloud security solutions
like a cloud access security broker
(CASB), is the key to a strong cloud
security strategy. By taking into account
and working to proactively protect the
multitude of endpoints connected to the
cloud, the amount of data stored in the
cloud and the cloud environment itself,
IT security teams can help ensure the
cloud is secure. u
Teams need to
gain visibility into
the entirety of
applications and
services in use, as
well as have proper
insight into user
activity to have
a holistic view of
an organisation’s
existing security
posture.
