The challenge
Your organization faces increasing risks as cloud adoption grows. Shadow IT introduces ungoverned applications, creating security blind spots. Data breaches become more costly, especially with the rise of ungoverned AI tools. Without a robust solution, you risk data exposure, compliance violations, and operational inefficiencies. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive approach to cloud security, including visibility, control, and automated threat detection.

CASB RFP guide- Can you demonstrate how your solution differentiates between a corporate instance and a personal instance of the same AI tool or cloud storage provider?
- What is your average latency for SSL inspection, and what is your process for handling 'certificate pinning' in developer environments like Python or GitHub?
- How does your solution handle OAuth-based 'SaaS-to-SaaS' connections that don't involve a user login?
- What percentage of your customers manage their own DLP policies versus requiring your professional services for monthly tuning?
