Organizations of all kinds continue to undergo a shift to the cloud as the culture of work increasingly relies on remote workers. Using traditional VPNs to access information that is stored on-premise, has introduced security vulnerabilities in many cases. For this reason, organizations are opting to shift this data to the cloud. The cloud, however, can also introduce security vulnerabilities, if necessary, solutions and tools are not in place. Many security tools that work well for data stored on-premise will not translate to the cloud automatically.

Shifting to the Cloud: Addressing Cybersecurity
Organizations of all kinds continue to undergo a shift to the cloud as the culture of work increasingly relies on remote workers. Using traditional VPNs to access information that is stored on-premise, has introduced security vulnerabilities in many cases. For this reason, organizations are opting to shift this data to the cloud. The cloud, however, can also introduce security vulnerabilities, if necessary, solutions and tools are not in place. Many security tools that work well for data stored on-premise will not translate to the cloud automatically. The Aurora team often recommends Symantec CASB to extend security protection to the cloud. What is a CASB? A CASB, or a Cloud Access Security Broker, is a security broker that sits between an end-user and the data in the cloud. It will help govern the use of services like Teams, Slack, Salesforce, Google Drive, and other popular cloud services. It will monitor activity that goes between the cloud and each user, ensuring that data is not being compromised. Having improved visibility minimized the risks associated with storing and sharing data in the cloud. An essential function of a CASB is to enforce security policies in the cloud. Benefits of Symantec CASB Aurora is a trusted premier partner with Symantec, A Division of Broadcom with a deep knowledge of the Symantec security portfolio. The Aurora staff has expertise in Symantec solutions such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Endpoint Security, Symantec CASB (Cloud SOC), and more. Each solution has strong capabilities. One benefit of implementing Symantec CASB is its ability to integrate with other Symantec solutions to better protect many aspects of your organization’s environment. Integrating a CASB with other solutions helps support continuous risk monitoring, adapting access control, and user productivity.
Symantec’s CASB continuously monitors malware, compromised accounts, and data loss by gathering data from the cloud, endpoints, and web gateways. It will monitor and indicate the risk associated with each user that accesses the cloud and enforce policies to these security events. This solution uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automate these processes. It will automatically indicate risks as high risk or low risk, forcing high-risk users to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure that the right user is accessing the right data at the right time. Next Level: SASE Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a framework that is used to better protect data in the cloud. It is a combination of several solutions including CASB, Web Security, Data Loss Prevention, and more to provide a more secure and thorough approach to security in the cloud.
