Businesses are increasingly facing data leaks and other forms of cyber threats associated with SaaS applications. For instance, users can access SaaS applications from their personal devices which can be vulnerable to hacking attempts, malware, or data leaks. Or they can unwittingly disclose their credentials, leading to data breaches. A recent study suggested that 72% of cloud tenants were targeted at least once by threat actors. To protect yourself from rising cyberattacks, you need a next-generation firewall solution that comes with in-built cloud security as well as a context-intelligent data leak prevention system.

GajShield’s CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker)  works on a proactive detection model to ensures that all the communication between the on premise device and cloud application provider complies with organization’s security policies. It uses information from the Contextual Intelligence Engine, check for compliance with Data Leak Prevention Policies to detect and take necessary action against an unsanctioned use. With the help of GajShield’s CASB module, you can now limit the access of these applications based on authorized users of these application who have been given access by your organization. For example, you can restrict your corporate Yahoo/Gmail ID to login to Yahoo/Gmail etc. All other IDs will be blocked. Personal usage, even if the user is allowed to access Yahoo/Gmail, will be blocked. Similar policies can be setup even on Social Media sites. It gives a deeper information logs of files and data uploaded, downloaded, E-mailed, shared on a file sharing drive, IM chats and more.

To Secure connection and protect the organizations from threats using SaaS Applications as a gateway, the solution checks for malware scripts and prevents it from running within your enterprise network. It also prevents sensitive data from being leaked outside the organizational network, thus maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive information. Moreover, contextually-intelligent firewall solutions are well-versed with standard user behavior and can spot anomalies instantly. As a result, they can easily identify data breach attempts even if malicious actors gain access to user credentials. To top it all off, using a multi-factor authentication tool enabled by next-generation firewall solutions can make your SaaS applications impenetrable by nullifying the impact of password compromise. Thus, you can achieve SaaS security, without compromising on performance.
