malware: painting a picture part 2
This post was originally published here by Jacob Serpa. As firms try to migrate to the cloud and protect themselves from threats like malware, they are engaging in a delicate process that can be compared to creating a painting (as discussed in Part One). In this analogy, malware can be thought of as a saboteur who throws paint […]
repeal and replace

the white flag & ajax-vm
This post was originally published here by Nat Kausik. A global aerospace giant pinged our chat line earlier this week. They were shopping for a CASB, and told us that they were referred to us by a competitor. Say what? Turns out this customer uses GSuite (aka Google Apps). And needed real-time inline data protection […]
CASB is Eating the MDM Market
This post was originally published here by Rich Campagna. In a prior post, I covered how the Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) market is eating the Identity as a Service (IDaaS) market. Interestingly, many enterprises are also treating CASB platforms as a replacement or alternative to Mobile Device Management (MDM)/Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions. Huh?
