Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB)

A Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) is a security tool that acts as a gatekeeper between your organization's users and cloud services. It monitors and enforces security policies to ensure that data shared or stored in the cloud is protected from unauthorized access, threats, and misuse. CASBs help organizations manage risks by providing visibility into cloud usage, controlling access, encrypting sensitive information, and ensuring compliance with security standards. Essentially, they provide oversight and security controls to safely leverage cloud applications while reducing potential vulnerabilities.
