Skyhigh Security Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) vs. 40Cloud

Transform your cloud presence from a mysterious entity into a clear and accessible resource with our premier Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), an essential element of Skyhigh Security's Secure Service Edge (SSE). This innovative system detects sensitive data housed in cloud platforms while addressing any content violations, ensuring compliance and security. It enforces real-time controls that protect data during user interactions, providing granular content sharing and access permissions. With the most extensive and accurate catalog of cloud services, assessed through a tailored 261-point risk evaluation, it significantly enhances risk-aware governance strategies for cloud operations. Moreover, it keeps a comprehensive audit trail that records all actions taken by users and administrators, which is crucial for conducting post-incident evaluations and forensic investigations. Utilizing machine learning algorithms, it can recognize behaviors that suggest negligence or malicious activities, such as insider threats that lead to the theft of confidential information. In addition, it safeguards sensitive structured data through peer-reviewed encryption techniques that maintain functionality, while allowing enterprises to control the encryption keys themselves, ensuring robust protection on all fronts. This holistic strategy not only strengthens security protocols but also promotes a culture of accountability and vigilance within cloud management practices. Ultimately, our CASB empowers organizations to confidently navigate the complexities of cloud security while maintaining transparency and control.

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.
