Cloud is now integral part of many data breaches


The “Secure” Cloud?

But isn’t the cloud already secure?

Even the experts can’t agree

Customer Imperatives for Improving Security

Detect threats with visibility across clouds

Govern the usage of cloud

Protect workloads and data in the cloud

How can I understand who is accessing the cloud

from anywhere, at anytime?

How can I fix vulnerabilities and defend against attacks before they’re exploited?

How can I obtain a comprehensive view of cloud and traditional environments?


Cloud is an opportunity to radically transform security practices

environments

Traditional Security Designed for static devices

Companies are Adopting Cloud Applications

EMPLOYEES IT OPERATIONS CISO

Using Cloud for:

• Cloud Storage

• Collaboration

• Much more

Using Cloud to:

Save money

Reduce complexity

Automate

Consolidate

Loses visibility/control

Risk of data loss

Web based threats


Cloud Applications Mobile Employees

How Can You Protect What You Can’t See?

CASBs are an important

visibility tool for CISOs

CASBs collect cloud app usage

details on traffic going through

corporate gateways

Mobile users can go directly to

cloud apps – creating the “mobile

blind spot”

Cellular networks

• Both in and out of the office

Home WiFi or mobile hot spots

Adds risk of malware, risky behavior, and corporate policy violations

On-Premise and Remote / VPN Employees

Web gateway,

Firewall, IPS, etc.

CASBs

But “Blind spots” still exist

for mobile usage


Security and IT leaders face new challenges

“My team can’t manage

increased employee

usage of cloud”

Gain visibility of all cloud app usage

Simplify connecting to approved apps

Remove mobile blind spots

Stop risky user behavior

Quickly detect and react to threats

Ensure compliance/governance

How does my organization?


IT Leaders are telling us they want to…

“We need to streamline the number of cloud security technologies. My IT analysts need to be more efficient and cut down on errors.”

State Government

Agency

“I have to simplify employee adoption of approved cloud apps. It’s critical for us to integrate identities with cloud discovery and usage.”

Major

Retailer

“One of our biggest problems is visibility into mobile device activity. We can’t enforce policy if we can’t see the traffic.”
