Securely Enabling the Use of Cloud Apps with Cisco Cloudlock

While cloud applications have enabled new business opportunities, and streamlined workflows such as those required for external collaboration, their widespread unauthorized adoption has created a set of security and compliance challenges. Addressing those concerns requires a pragmatic approach, one that enables the secure use of cloud apps. Cloud access security brokers (CASBs), which provide insight into the risk associated with cloud apps and usage patterns as the basis for defining and applying policy, can provide the visibility and control required to implement such an approach. Cisco Cloudlock allows organizations to not only gain visibility into what cloud applications are being used, but also understand their associated risk to implement policies that protect data assets stored with these apps from compromise.
