Brief Overview

Bitglass’ cloud access security broker (CASB) solution enables enterprises to secure any SaaS apps, IaaS instances, data lakes, on-premises apps, and private cloud apps built on any platform. Bitglass’ cloud-first security platform provides end-to-end security and comprehensive visibility over corporate data, limits sharing, prevents data leakage across all apps, and ensures that data is always safe and secure. This is imperative as organizations continue to enable BYOD. In fact, 85 percent of organizations allow BYOD for at least some of their stakeholders. This means that sensitive data is moving beyond the protective perimeter of traditional tools like corporate firewalls more often. As such, cybersecurity technology must evolve to become data-centric. Fortunately, Bitglass can protect data on any device, at any time, and from anywhere in the world – without the need for cumbersome, agent-based deployments. Core capabilities Bitglass provides include identity and access management, visibility, data protection, and threat protection.

Unlike competitors, Bitglass is the only CASB with a proven hybrid architecture – using a combination of proxies and API integrations in order to ensure complete coverage against all risk of data leakage as sensitive information moves beyond the corporate firewall. Through forward proxy, reverse proxy, ActiveSync proxy, and API integration; Bitglass can secure any app or device. Bitglass’ competitors have yet to achieve agentless reverse proxy with the same reliability because they lack Bitglass’ AJAX-VM, patented technology needed for robust reverse proxy functionality, critical for securing personal devices.

Bitglass is also the only CASB with real-time, advanced threat protection that is capable of detecting zero-day threats at upload, at download, and at rest. Bitglass is also the only CASB with searchable, full-strength encryption as well as unmanaged app control that renders apps read only in order to prevent data leakage.
