What is CASB?

The Enterprise Standard for Cloud Application Security

A Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) is the security enforcement point between your users and every cloud service they access. As the leading cloud access security broker platform for Indian and global enterprises, NetNXT CASB gives you complete visibility, granular data controls, and automated compliance enforcement across all SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS environments — whether your team is in office, remote, or hybrid.

With the average enterprise now using over 1,000 cloud applications — and IT knowing about fewer than 100 of them — CASB security is no longer optional. CASB sits between users and cloud providers, discovering unauthorised app usage, classifying sensitive data, preventing exfiltration, and generating audit trails that compliance teams actually trust.

Visibility & Shadow IT Discovery

Discover every cloud service in use — sanctioned or not. Risk-score each app across 70+ security attributes and govern or block high-risk shadow IT before a breach occurs.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Identify and protect sensitive data in motion and at rest across cloud apps. Apply encryption, tokenisation, and access controls to prevent data exfiltration by insiders or external actors.

Threat Protection & UEBA

Detect advanced cloud threats, compromised accounts, malware uploads, and anomalous user behaviour using built-in User and Entity Behaviour Analytics (UEBA) across all cloud platforms.

Compliance Automation

Automate compliance monitoring and reporting for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST across all your cloud services. Generate audit evidence in hours, not weeks.

Real-Time Policy Enforcement

Block, alert, or quarantine cloud activity in real time. Enforce context-aware access policies based on user identity, device posture, location, and data sensitivity — without impacting productivity.

Cloud Risk Analytics

Continuous risk scoring across all cloud applications with usage analytics, data access pattern monitoring, and executive-ready dashboards that map cloud risk to business impact.

How CASB Works

The Four Pillars of Enterprise CASB Security

Gartner defines four core capabilities for any cloud access security broker. NetNXT delivers all four natively in a single integrated platform — no stitching together point solutions.

01

Visibility & Discovery

Full inventory of every cloud service in use, including unsanctioned apps and high-risk third-party integrations.

  • Discover sanctioned and shadow IT apps
  • Monitor user activity and data access patterns
  • Risk scoring across 70+ security attributes
  • Shadow IT identification and governance workflow
02

Data Security & DLP

Classify, protect, and control sensitive data wherever it flows in your cloud ecosystem.

  • Content inspection and data classification
  • DLP policies across SaaS and IaaS
  • Encryption and tokenisation of sensitive data
  • Granular sharing and download controls
03

Threat Protection

AI-powered detection of cloud-native threats, account compromises, and insider misuse in real time.

  • Advanced malware detection and sandboxing
  • User and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA)
  • Compromised account detection
  • Automated threat response playbooks
04

Compliance Enforcement

Continuous compliance monitoring with automated reporting across all major regulatory frameworks.

  • GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001
  • Real-time policy violation alerts
  • Immutable audit trails and forensics
  • Scheduled compliance evidence reports
Deployment Architecture

Three CASB Deployment Modes — One Platform

The right deployment mode depends on your use case — discovery, inline enforcement, or deep API integration with existing SaaS platforms. NetNXT CASB supports all three, often simultaneously.

API Mode

Direct integration with cloud service APIs for comprehensive visibility and retroactive scanning. Zero network changes required — ideal for securing sanctioned SaaS apps.

  • No network architecture changes
  • Full visibility into sanctioned SaaS
  • Retroactive DLP scanning of stored data
  • Native integration with M365, Google Workspace

Inline (Proxy) Mode

Real-time traffic inspection through a forward or reverse proxy for immediate threat prevention and policy enforcement across all cloud traffic.

  • Real-time policy enforcement on every request
  • Block uploads, downloads, and shares instantly
  • Cover all cloud apps including shadow IT
  • Agent-based or agentless deployment

Hybrid Mode

The most comprehensive coverage — combining API integration for sanctioned apps with inline inspection for shadow IT and real-time blocking.

  • Best-of-both-worlds architecture
  • Maximum data visibility and control
  • API coverage for sanctioned apps
  • Inline coverage for unknown cloud traffic
Business Outcomes

What Changes When You Deploy NetNXT CASB

Enterprises deploying a cloud access security broker report measurable security, compliance, and operational improvements within the first 30 days.

Complete Cloud Visibility in Under 48 Hours

Discover every cloud app your organisation uses — including the 90%+ that IT didn't approve. Risk-score each app and build a governed cloud inventory that replaces guesswork with data.

80% Reduction in Shadow IT Exposure

Identify and govern unsanctioned cloud services before they leak sensitive data. CASB policies can block high-risk apps, coach users toward approved alternatives, or quarantine risky activity automatically.

Zero-Touch DLP Across All Cloud Apps

Automatically classify and protect sensitive data — PII, financial records, healthcare data — across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and thousands more. Prevent exfiltration without blocking productivity.

Automated Compliance for GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2

Continuous compliance monitoring with automated evidence generation. Cut compliance audit preparation time by 70% and maintain always-ready posture for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

We discovered 300+ shadow IT applications in our first scan — apps we had no idea our team was using. NetNXT CASB gave us the visibility to govern our cloud environment properly for the first time.

CISO, Brightpath Fintech

Our SOC 2 audit used to take months of evidence gathering. With NetNXT CASB's automated compliance reporting, we had everything ready in under a week. It was transformative for our GRC team.

PR

Head of GRC, CloudSprint SaaS

We caught a departing employee attempting to exfiltrate customer data to a personal Google Drive account. CASB blocked it in real time and generated the evidence trail we needed. That alone justified the investment.
