SolutionsFirst Generation CASB

Take a Step Up Beyond First Generation CASB

Modern CASB vendors like Netskope have evolved from first generation CASBs that were architected primarily to discover cloud services and provide limited API-only controls. A modern CASB cloud security architecture consists of real-time traffic inspection of all enterprise traffic, ensuring that real-time, granular visibility and control is provided for both managed and unmanaged cloud applications so enterprises can safely enable the cloud instead of being forced to block it or simply monitor it.

Take a forklift to your cloud security

Netskope’s Cloud XD^TM engine provides a new holistic cloud security architecture that provides real-time traffic inspection. For every transaction, Cloud XD derives deep “context” of user, device, application, and data. Security admins can then develop ultra-tight security policies that help to lock down your cloud application use and reduce business risk.

Components of a modern CASB architecture

Third-party risk

Netskope’s Cloud Confidence Index (CCI) can automatically audit your traffic to discover your overall risk profile across thousands of applications used within your environment. Each application is given a risk-score that can help you determine the level of policy required to mitigate threats to your organization.

Data Loss Protection

Customers can take advantage of Netskope’s advanced Data Loss Protection capabilities that looks deep into content that is being used in the cloud. Customers can ensure that the most sensitive of documents or data does not leak outside of your organization, blocking unauthorized transmissions in real-time.

Context and control

Netskope gives you granular visibility and control of your cloud services. Rather than take a coarse-grained approach by blocking services entirely, Netskope gives you a deep understanding of your cloud service usage and allows you to define targeted security policies based on identity, service, activity, and data.

Real-time enforcement

Netskope offers real-time enforcement of security policies where data loss and threats can be stopped in milliseconds. Unlike other CASB vendors who only offer API-only deployment modes, Netskope offers customers high-performance security protection of their applications that doesn’t affect users.

Streamlined operations

Identify, mitigate, and remediate insider threats, compromised accounts and privileged user threats across thousands of cloud applications under a single centralized deployment model. Easy and flexible integration ensures that security does not become an obstacle in running your business.

When deploying a multi-cloud infrastructure environment, you need a consistent tool that plays across all the platforms. Using Netskope I train one individual on one set of tools to manage our entire cloud environment effectively.
