Hello, this is MONITORAPP.
Today, as in the last time, we will continue to learn more about AIONCLOUD's Security Service Edge (SSE) service, Secure Internet Access (SIA).
SIA is a Zero-Trust-based security solution and is an SSE service that includes 'SWG', 'FWaaS', 'CASB', 'NG DPI', 'ATP', and 'RBI'.
Following the introduction of NG DPI last time, today we will introduce CASB.
What is a SaaS application?
Have you heard the term SaaS application?
Software as a service (SaaS) is a software application that is delivered over the Internet.
SaaS users can use the application through a web browser without having to install or maintain the software themselves.
SaaS is a type of cloud computing, where the software provider hosts and maintains the application, and you use it on a subscription basis.
MS Office 365, Google Workspace (Google Docs, Google Sheets), and Trello are some of the most common SaaS applications used in the enterprise.
While SaaS has the advantage of being efficient and easy to use, it can pose security concerns because it stores sensitive data on external servers located in the cloud.
Why do you need a CASB?
As SaaS application usage increases over time, organizations need visibility into their employee's use of SaaS applications.
Organizations also need to be prepared for sensitive data leaks through SaaS applications.
Because SaaS can be accessed remotely and used on a variety of devices,
traditional on-premises security solutions (those that physically reside inside the enterprise) don't provide sufficient protection.
This is where CASBs come into play to help organizations protect their data and gain visibility into their SaaS applications.
What is a cloud access security broker (CASB)?
A CASB is a security tool designed to make the use of cloud-based services more secure.
CASBs are security solutions that allow you to configure security policies for SaaS applications
to orchestrate access rights and gain visibility into data security.
The main features offered by CASB include user activity monitoring, data loss prevention (DLP), and access control.
User activity monitoring
CASB tracks and records the activities of users who use SaaS applications inside or outside your organization.
This helps you gain visibility into the SaaS applications used in your organization to identify unusual activity or risky behavior.
Data loss prevention (DLP)
We also provide the ability to prevent data that violates your organization's policies or data containing sensitive information from leaving the cloud through your SaaS applications.
This is referred to as data loss prevention (DLP)
Access control
CASB allows you to set permissions for each user to access only the services they need.
This prevents unnecessary authorization.
CASB in AIONCLOUD SIA
AIONCLOUD SIA offers a CASB with features such as SaaS visibility, DLP, and adaptive access control.
First, you can see your organization's SaaS usage and user analytics in real-time.
It provides traffic and user graphs for the top 10 categories so you can see how your SaaS applications are being used at a glance.
You can also see at a glance whether attempts to use SaaS applications are blocked according to the security policies you have set.
Each policy can be configured by setting conditions for each user, each category in which SaaS applications are categorized, and each SaaS application.
You can set specific file uploads, specific payload limits, and more to prevent your organization's data from being leaked through SaaS applications,
and these features can be applied to specific SaaS applications or specific categories of SaaS applications.
All policies provided by SIA's CASB can be applied on a per-user basis, allowing you to control individual access to SaaS applications.
AIONCLOUD SIA's CASB, which provides complete visibility into SaaS applications and provides adaptive access control for DLP and SaaS applications,
is essential for businesses familiar with cloud environments.
Today, we introduced AIONCLOUD SIA's CASB.
