A CASB is a security tool that sits between users and cloud applications to enforce security policies and monitor activity.
Why it matters:
- Provides visibility into cloud usage and helps prevent data leaks.
- Enforces compliance and detects risky behavior or shadow IT.
- Works across multiple cloud platforms.
Pro tip: CASBs are essential for organizations using multiple SaaS apps — they provide centralized oversight across all of them.
