Forcepoint CASB vs. 40Cloud

Maximize the potential of cloud services for your business while ensuring that your data remains secure and under your control. By utilizing a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), you can efficiently oversee both sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud applications. Forcepoint CASB offers seamless integration with identity providers such as Ping and Okta, allowing you to build on existing frameworks you've established. If you haven't implemented an identity provider yet, the CASB can serve as a substitute, streamlining the addition of applications and enabling precise control over user access. Its intuitive interface is designed for easy navigation, ensuring that employees can use it without difficulty. While the risks posed by Shadow IT can leave sensitive data vulnerable, you can quickly pinpoint both managed and unmanaged cloud applications in real-time through your web proxy and firewall logs. Moreover, the cutting-edge Zero Trust Impossible Travel technology enables faster detection of compromised credentials by monitoring access patterns, locations, and timing from various devices. As data is transmitted to and from the cloud, and even between different cloud platforms, it is vital to protect it whether it is in transit or at rest. You have the ability to block data during transmission, encrypt or mask it, redact sensitive content, or apply watermarks for tracking purposes to ensure that your crucial information remains safe. Additionally, implementing proactive data protection strategies not only fortifies your security measures but also fosters a culture of trust within your organization, promoting a secure environment for collaboration and innovation.

The 40Cloud solution effectively converts your public cloud into a more secure private environment by implementing a virtual private network on top of your existing cloud infrastructure. This specialized network utilizes uniform private IP addresses and encrypted communication methods, making it shielded from any external access. With 40Cloud, you can define and enforce access permissions for your Virtual Private Cloud using a robust framework of authentication, authorization, and firewall protections. The sole entry points into your cloud network are the Gateways supplied by 40Cloud, which verify the identities of all employees and contractors requiring access to the cloud servers. These Gateways also act as key enforcement mechanisms for your Access Control Policies, ensuring that only the right individuals can enter the system. Remote users connect through the Gateways using standard IPsec VPN technology, which are self-installed and typically set up as one Gateway for each data center or isolated cloud network—this latter category being characterized as a private IP subnet with a layer 2 separation technique like VLAN. This arrangement not only enhances security but also ensures that sensitive resources are only accessible to authorized personnel, thereby providing an additional layer of protection for your critical data. Moreover, the implementation of such extensive security measures serves to instill confidence in the integrity of your cloud infrastructure.
