Understanding Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) is a security solution that sits between an organization's on-premises infrastructure and a cloud provider's infrastructure, providing visibility into and control over data and applications that reside in the cloud. CASBs help organizations enforce security policies, monitor activity, and ensure compliance across cloud applications, preventing unauthorized access and data exfiltration. By acting as a gatekeeper, CASBs enable organizations to extend their security posture to the cloud and mitigate risks associated with cloud usage.
