What is OCI's Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)?

The Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure serves as a vital component for enhancing security and compliance within cloud applications. Its primary function is to act as an intermediary between users and cloud service providers, providing visibility and control over cloud usage. CASBs enable organizations to enforce security policies, monitor activities, and identify risky behavior, ensuring that data is protected and compliance requirements are met.

This capability is crucial in today’s cloud-centric environment, where applications and services are often utilized outside of traditional network perimeters. By facilitating features such as data loss prevention, threat protection, and access control, a CASB can address the unique security challenges associated with cloud computing. This makes it an essential tool for organizations looking to secure their cloud environments effectively.
