Being the only agentlessĀ Next-Gen CASBĀ means we secure corporate data on zillions of varied devices – PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, tablets, phones, smart watches and beyond.Ā How do we send out security notifications to such a wide range of devices?
After much discussion, our CTO Anurag Kahol, and SVP of Engineering, Chris Chan, converged on a brilliant plan. Treat all devices as “things.”Ā Ā All user devices accessing data via Bitglass are configured to send and receive notifications via ourĀ AWS IoTĀ service.Ā If any of your devices are compromised and involved in a risky breach event, all of your devices get notified.Ā The notification might be an alert, aĀ request to confirm, or aĀ challenge for step-up authentication.
