Cloud Access Security Broker
A software tool or service that acts as an intermediary between cloud-based services and enterprise IT to provide security, compliance, and governance.
Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB) are key components in the security architecture of organizations that utilize cloud services. CASBs enable visibility into cloud usage, enforce security policies, and provide data protection.
They operate by integrating with various cloud service providers and applying a range of security controls, such as data loss prevention, identity management, and encryption. CASBs help organizations maintain compliance with regulations and reduce the risk of data breaches in the cloud.
Adopting a CASB is particularly important for organizations that follow frameworks like GDPR, SOC2, and HIPAA, which have stringent requirements for data protection and privacy.
