CASB Explained

The post explains the concept of CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker), a cybersecurity tool that monitors and enforces security policies for cloud applications. A CASB operates by establishing a MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) proxy between users and cloud applications, allowing it to inspect and act on all traffic between these points. CASB policies can be configured to affect both incoming and outgoing traffic, with examples of rules including Malware Defense for incoming traffic and Data Loss Prevention for outgoing traffic.
