CLOUD ACCESS SECURITY BROKERS Gartner's recent Infrastructure Protection report indicates that Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBS) will play a larger role in helping enforce security policies based upon what they consider to be the four key pillars of complete cloud security: visibility, compliance, data security and threat prevention. With companies wanting to more aggressively put business-critical enterprise functions in the cloud in the coming years, CASBS serve as on premise or hosted software that acts as a control point to secure cloud services, generally offering a range of capabilities including encryption, tokenization, auditing, data loss prevention (DLP), access control and anomaly detection.
