Netskope CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker)
About the product
A modern security solution designed to monitor and control access to cloud applications and protect data transferred by users to these applications. Unlike traditional CASBs, Netskope offers activity-level visibility, which means you can track and control specific actions in applications (e.g., downloading a file from OneDrive, sharing a document in Google Drive).
Netskope CASB operates in both inline (real-time) and API (audit and historical control) modes, providing complete protection – both when applications are in use in real time and when analyzing data at rest.
It is the ideal solution for organizations that want to securely use SaaS applications such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Slack, Dropbox, and hundreds more.
Advantages of the product
Visibility and control at the application activity level – not just “who and where,” but “what exactly they did.” Netskope CASB recognizes and controls user activity across more than 80,000 applications
Inline and API mode operation – real-time protection and analysis of data at rest
Ready-made integrations with thousands of SaaS applications – including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoom, Box, Dropbox, and many more
Precise access control and policies – ability to create access policies based on:
· Instance type (company/private)
· Data type (e.g., personal data, financial files)
· User, group, or location
· Action (upload, download, share, edit, etc.)
Advanced data protection (DLP) – detect and prevent data leaks in cloud applications
Abuse prevention mechanisms (UEBA) – detection of unusual user behavior and internal threats
Regulatory compliance support – GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO, and more.
Benefits of Implementation
Full visibility of cloud application user activity – find out which applications are used in your organization, who uses them, and what they use them for – even if they are unauthorized applications (so-called Shadow IT)
Granular control and enforcement of security policies – you can create precise rules – e.g., allow viewing of files in Google Drive, but block downloading or sharing outside the organization
Detection of corporate and private instances – Netskope CASB can distinguish between corporate and private instances of the same application (e.g., corporate Google Drive vs. private Gmail). This allows you to set different security policies – e.g., allow data to be transferred to the corporate instance but block it from being sent to a private account
Protection of sensitive data in SaaS applications – built-in DLP mechanisms help detect the transfer of personal, financial or medical data and respond immediately
Prevention of abuse and internal threats – through user behavior analysis (UEBA), Netskope detects unusual activity and notifies the security team
Regulatory compliance and easy reporting – Netskope CASB makes it easy to document compliance with standards such as GDPR, ISO, HIPAA, and SOX.
Securely accelerate cloud transformation – Netskope CASB enables secure use of cloud applications without compromising availability, supporting productivity and innovation
