Enterprises’ cloud security use cases are maturing, and they are seeking a cloud access security broker (CASB) to help them move from log-based discovery to enforcing more sophisticated policy or at least monitoring usage more deeply.
Netskope customers have deployed Netskope’s ALL-MODE architecture (with more than three-quarters of them going beyond a single mode) to achieve their most critical use cases. We have noted 15 of these use cases in our recent e-book, The 15 Critical CASB Use Cases, and we’re highlighting them and more (and we want to hear from you too!) in this blog.
Here’s use case #3: Monitor or control users’ activities even when they are accessing cloud services from a mobile app or desktop native app.
Enterprise security around mobile and remote access is a funny thing. On the one hand, IT knows that nearly all employees access corporate applications from remote and mobile locations, yet few of them actually have adequate security controls in place around this access pattern. According to a study we did last year, more than half of all cloud activities (send, share, view, edit, approve, etc.) happen over a mobile device (imagine how much you accomplish on your phone when you’re standing in line at the grocery store!), and a full one-third of DLP violations happen on mobile.
One critical difference between Netskope and other CASBs is that we enable the use case of monitoring activity and enforcing policy controls over sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud services EVEN when users are accessing the service from a mobile app or desktop native app. Consider a policy that you may have in place that states: “During our company’s financial quiet period, we prefer that corporate ‘insiders’ do not share content outside of the company from any Cloud Storage application” (yo
