In today’s world of hybrid cloud infrastructures using both on-premise resources as well as public cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), the security boundary lines are being blurred for organizations taking advantage of public cloud resources. While hosting infrastructure both on-premise and in the public cloud, organizations have to address security concerns as well as enforce compliance of on-premise network security policies with infrastructure that lives in the cloud. Cloud Access Security Brokers or CASBs are often used to sit between on-premise infrastructure and cloud infrastructure and enforce enterprise security policies.  There are many different implementations and types of CASBs. Two different approaches to implementing CASBs involve using API based CASBs and also Firewall/proxy based CASBs. What are the differences between the two? Which is the more scalable, modern solution? Let’s take a closer look at CASBs in general as well as look at these different implementations.

When an employee leaves a company, moves to another department, or is simply fired, there is no need to pay for an unused account if you can migrate critical data to another account. But the cybersecurity world is challenging businesses and educational organizations with new threats that require maintenance of their cloud data with the help of technically advanced SaaS providers. Using data migration tools is becoming a common practice, but simple data migration is not enough to accomplish the task. To migrate G Suite data effectively, you need a sophisticated combination of a migration tool and version control.
