The ever-increasing volume and velocity of data combined with the data-driven nature of many businesses has caused organizations to consider data protection to be a strategic imperative. The broad adoption of cloud services and user mobility scatters data assets across a variety of locations, presenting challenges to comprehensive data protection. Motivated adversaries spanning external bad actors and insider threats along with the need to maintain compliance require a proactive approach to protecting data from loss. This drives the need for a centralized approach, and the scope of cloud access security brokers (CASBs) needs to expand to cover all types of cloud services. McAfee offers a set of technologies that allow customers to discover and protect their on-premises and cloud-resident data from compromise via a centralized control plane.
