What’s a CASB?
IT support providers in San Antonio provide many diverse services today which are necessary for reliable, sustainable forward operations. One of the most considerable involves cloud computing. Cloud computing often provides “as-a-service” solutions, and a managed services provider (MSP) in San Antonio can help you find the best balance. One way many businesses are applying such solutions involves a cloud access security broker (CASB), which is essentially a sort of digital security operative which weighs normal activity against anomalies and can manage all devices across a massive diverse network. Three primary terms help make this relationship clear:
- Identity and Access Management (IAM)
- Single Sign-On (SSO)
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
An IT support provider in San Antonio can help you iron out an effective IAM strategy. IAM consolidates identity, authentication, and authorization together. A CASB presiding over IAM ensures no information is fraudulently used to breach.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-On allows those who need access to your network the ability to interface with multiple “little networks”. Independent systems with their own software can be accessed with a single ID combination. Instead of having to log on a thousand different times across diverse networks, one set of credentials is all that’s necessary. This is efficient, but without IAM and CASB, a hacker could steal such relevant data and use it to breach.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multi-factor authentication in conjunction with SSO, IAM, and CASB represents comprehensive security. Basically, if you’re going to use SSO to access the network, a text message may be sent to your phone or an email to your computer if you’re trying to access from a phone. The message includes a code, and that is then entered into the first access gateway. This further helps prevent security breach by assigning multiple devices to one identity; something harder to surrogate as a cybercriminal.
