Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)

vulnerability-detection

CASB grants IT managers extensive visibility into their organization’s usage of cloud applications, encompassing both approved and unauthorized (Shadow IT) applications. Helios’s CASB facilitates the evaluation of each SaaS application’s potential risk and allows for the creation of detailed and adaptable access rules to maintain a least-privilege approach and minimize risk exposure.

Stop Data Leaks with Enterprise SaaS Tenant Restriction

The very SaaS applications approved and authorized by the enterprise might also be used privately by employees, creating a potential risk for sensitive data leakage. Adhering to industry best practices, Helios CASB can restrict access to only approved tenants within sanctioned applications, thereby ensuring that enterprise intellectual property remains secure and does not inadvertently leak outside the organization without explicit authorization.

 
Vulnerability Detection

Inline and Out-of-Band Application Access Controls

Users access cloud applications from both corporate and personal devices, in the office and remotely, necessitating both inline and out-of-band controls. Beyond its inherent capability to monitor and control inline traffic, Helios CASB offers API connectors for popular enterprise cloud applications. These connectors enable near real-time surveillance of application access, safeguarding against data leakage, misconfigured data sharing, and malware spread. With Helios CASB’s dual operation in both inline and out-of-band modes, administrators gain a comprehensive and complete view of cloud app usage, ensuring consistent control across all application access scenarios. 

 

Controlling What Users Do Within Cloud Applications

In addition to overarching risk and compliance controls, Helios CASB offers detailed inline monitoring and management of specific user actions within an application. It examines commands transmitted over HTTP/S and APIs, identifying granular actions such as login, download, upload, and view. Administrators can establish policies to regulate action permissions, striking a balance between user productivity and data security. For example, they might block uploads to unauthorized file-sharing apps while permitting downloads for data exchange with external organizations.

AI/ML-based Application Risk and Access Control

Helios helps in risk management by providing insights into the severity and business impact of identified vulnerabilities. You can generate detailed reports that help your security teams prioritize, and address vulnerabilities based on their severity level, the potential business impact, and the effort required for remediation.

Full Cloud Application Visibility and Shadow IT Control

Administrators tasked with managing enterprise risk exposure frequently face challenges in manually verifying compliance for each cloud application. Leveraging automated data collection and machine learning-based analysis, Helios CASB assigns a calculated risk score to every cloud application. These scores are presented in a Cloud App Catalog, where each application profile includes details such as a description, compliance adherence, and security controls. Administrators can access all the necessary information to make well-informed decisions about application usage and establish policies that minimize risk and exposure. For instance, they can restrict access to applications exceeding a certain risk threshold, those lacking MFA and SSO, or those not meeting specific security standards.
