What Is CASB and Why Does Your IT Team Need One?
What is CASB? CASB, or cloud access security broker, is a relatively new term in the cybersecurity space. It is used to define the industry of solutions that protect the data stored in cloud applications, such as Google G Suite and Microsoft Office 365. Though, some argue that CASB is already outdated in favor of Cloud Application Security Platform (CASP).
Gartner defines a CASB as: "on-premises, or cloud-based security policy enforcement points, placed between cloud service consumers and cloud service providers to combine and interject enterprise security policies as the cloud-based resources are accessed."
