CipherCloud Chronicles #4: Fishing Sensitive Data

“History is who we are and why we are the way we are.” -David McCullough

One could argue that identifying and classifying sensitive data in the cloud is an equivalent to going fishing. To land the right fish, you need the right bait and tackle. Similarly, to address all of your cloud security concerns you need just the right CASB solution.

CipherCloud CASB+ stands out on today’s landscape with the highest total ratings for product capabilities in Gartner’s Critical Capabilities Report.

And, while real-time threat intelligence and protection is a top priority for many organizations, what about all the sensitive data residing in the cloud – including data that may have been unaddressed for ages? That exposure could easily represent a “fishing hole” for potential data risks and compliance breaches.

CipherCloud Data Discovery lends visibility into historical cloud data to address this very challenge – empowering organizations to quickly perform historical data scans across all of their clouds to identify sensitive data, based on DLP policies. CipherCloud CASB+ also deploys with out-of-the-box DLP templates covering a wide variety of standards to help identify sensitive data such as PII, PHI, PCI, and HIPAA records, along with the option to create custom DLP templates.

Data Discovery scans the entire SaaS environment, checks for the combination of sensitive information and open connections, and enables remediation actions such as removing public links and encrypting sensitive data. This helps customers to maintain compliance with latest data privacy and protection laws such as GDPR, CCPA, GLBA, and others. Scans can be performed on either a full or incremental basis, and can be scheduled or run ad-hoc, as required.
