“Cloud access security broker or CASB cloud solution renders federal or business IT leaders deep visibility into the online services and add an extra layer to upgrade Cybersecurity level.” The use of web services in today’s era is booming all over the federal government. According to the Bloomberg Government analysis report, it was expected that the obligations on online services contracts are going to increase by 32% in the year 2018. This includes not only the SaaS apps like Office 365 or Windows 10 OS but, also the IaaS and PaaS like Microsoft Azure, Oracle, Google cloud platform, Amazon web services, and many more. As per the “Cloud Smart” strategy of the Trump administration, a high-level of acceleration in value is expected to take place in the year 2019. The security experts of CloudCodes believes:
“When you shift your daily operations on the cloud, you do not have any other choices left. You are not owning your personal storage infrastructure, but still keeping your applications and information on storage services (owned by external parties).”
Here comes the call for an opportunity where businesses need to understand their data, its access by office workers, a workflow of secretive content, and at the end of the day its security aspect. No one can ignore the thing that ‘when you are working with online services, cloud data security is a crucial aspect.’ Either by hook or by crook, you have to adopt a comprehensive online data security measure, which is capable of providing safety from data leakage incidents and Cybercrimes.
What is the CASB Solution?
Nowadays businesses are showing their trust in the cloud to host their apps and data on PaaS, IaaS, or SaaS cloud services. This requires a unified access and control point, which gives cloud users visibility and control on all their resources, usage, and data. A CASB cloud solution is a package of online data protection services that can be considered as a ‘single unified cloud access protection control point.’ It gives consistent visibility into the cloud data along with control over all web services, utilized by industries. The cloud access security broker architecture scans, measures, and generates a report about which online apps are currently running on the networks of business. It comprises policies, data loss prevention techniques, access controls security services, auditing systems, and other security measures that are needed for apps to secure on the external networks. Since CASB cloud solution append protection to the cloud-based programs (that have several data center places) therefore, they also ensure data security compliance by imposing things like data residency. An intelligent analytic feature is also provided in CASBs to give assurance to end users that no unauthorized account access will take place. This analytic feature is based upon the machine learning concept. Well, Gartner made a prediction in November 2017 that 60% of big enterprises will start using CASB for governing cloud services by the year 2021.
