Its agentless architecture delivers CASB, Secure Web Gateway, and Zero Trust Network Access capabilities without requiring endpoint agents, making it especially powerful for securing BYOD environments and contractor access to sanctioned cloud applications without data leakage.
Best for: Organizations needing agentless CASB for BYOD and unmanaged device security — securing data in SaaS apps across personal devices and contractor endpoints without deploying endpoint agents. -
02Broadcom CloudSOC CASB
Broadcom CloudSOC CASB (formerly Symantec CloudSOC) helps enterprises stay secure and compliant when using sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud apps across SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS platforms. It provides comprehensive shadow IT discovery with risk scoring of 25,000+ cloud services, behavioral analytics (UEBA) to detect compromised accounts, fine-grained DLP enforcement, and automated remediation — all through inline and API-based deployment modes.
Best for: Large enterprises needing comprehensive shadow IT discovery with risk scoring across tens of thousands of cloud services — combined with behavioral analytics (UEBA) for detecting insider threats and compromised accounts. -
03Lookout Cloud Access Security Broker
Lookout CASB delivers full visibility and granular control over cloud application access with a mobile-first security philosophy — extending protection to iOS and Android endpoints that traditional CASBs overlook. It secures cloud apps with continuous risk assessment of users, devices, and cloud services, enforcing adaptive access policies and DLP even on unmanaged mobile devices, making it a natural fit for organizations with large mobile workforces accessing cloud-based corporate resources.
Best for: Mobile-heavy organizations needing CASB that extends cloud app security controls to iOS and Android devices — particularly enterprises managing distributed workforces where mobile endpoint risk is a primary cloud security concern. -
04Forcepoint CASB
Forcepoint CASB provides complete security for all cloud applications — delivering visibility into shadow IT, real-time policy enforcement, data loss prevention, and threat protection across sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS. Built on behavioral analytics, Forcepoint CASB monitors user activities for anomalous behavior, enforces granular access controls based on risk scores, and integrates with Forcepoint's DLP and Secure Web Gateway for a unified data-centric security architecture.
Best for: Organizations seeking data-centric CASB integrated with enterprise DLP policies — securing sensitive data across cloud apps with consistent enforcement whether accessed via web browser, mobile app, or API. -
05McAfee MVISION Cloud
McAfee MVISION Cloud (now part of Trellix) introduced MITRE ATT&CK framework integration into CASB workflows — enabling SOC analysts to investigate cloud-based threats using industry-standard adversary tactics and techniques. It provides unified cloud security for SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS environments with advanced DLP, UEBA behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence feeds, giving security managers the context needed to defend against future cloud attack patterns with precision.
Best for: SOC teams wanting MITRE ATT&CK-aligned cloud threat detection — organizations that need security operations workflows integrated directly with cloud investigation tooling and threat intelligence for rapid incident response. -
06Microsoft Cloud App Security (MCAS)
Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (formerly MCAS) is a comprehensive CASB built natively into the Microsoft 365 Defender security stack. It provides multifunction visibility into cloud app usage across 31,000+ apps, granular control over data travel with Microsoft Purview Information Protection integration, and sophisticated behavioral analytics powered by Microsoft Threat Intelligence. Deep integration with Azure AD Conditional Access, Microsoft Sentinel SIEM, and Defender XDR makes it the natural CASB choice for Microsoft-centric enterprises.
Best for: Microsoft 365 and Azure organizations wanting a fully integrated CASB — native integration with Entra ID Conditional Access, Microsoft Purview DLP, and Microsoft Sentinel delivers unified cloud security without additional connectors. -
07Netskope CASB
Netskope CASB is widely recognized as a leader in the CASB market — enabling organizations to quickly identify and manage the use of cloud applications, whether managed or unmanaged, through its patented Cloud XD (eXtract and Decode) technology. Netskope decodes over 8,000 cloud activities in real time for deep contextual DLP enforcement, providing granular control at the activity level (e.g., upload vs. share vs. post) rather than just the app level. It is a core component of Netskope's leading SASE platform.
Best for: Organizations needing the deepest cloud application visibility and activity-level DLP enforcement — Netskope's Cloud XD technology provides context-aware control (block upload but allow download) that generic CASBs cannot match. -
08Proofpoint Cloud Security
Proofpoint Cloud Security provides unified governance over access to the web, cloud services, and private applications — extending Proofpoint's people-centric security philosophy to cloud environments. It identifies risky users, detects account compromises, enforces adaptive access controls, and integrates with Proofpoint's leading email security and threat intelligence to provide holistic visibility into how users interact with cloud resources and what data is at risk.
Best for: Organizations already using Proofpoint for email security who want to extend people-centric threat protection to cloud apps — correlating email-based threat intelligence with cloud access behavior to identify targeted users and compromised accounts. -
09Palo Alto Integrated CASB
Palo Alto Networks Integrated CASB (part of Prisma SASE and NGFW) secures new SaaS applications, protects sensitive data, and prevents cloud threats — all without requiring separate CASB infrastructure. Its SaaS Security Inline capability integrates directly into Palo Alto's next-generation firewalls and Prisma Access, providing consistent cloud app security policy across all traffic. AI-powered DLP and malware prevention ensure zero-day threats in cloud files are detected and blocked in real time.
Best for: Palo Alto NGFW and Prisma Access customers wanting CASB capabilities without a separate product — integrated SaaS security within existing Palo Alto infrastructure simplifies architecture while adding AI-powered cloud threat and DLP coverage. -
10Cisco Cloudlock CASB
Cisco Cloudlock CASB secures identities, data, and apps across cloud environments — combating account compromises, data breaches, and cloud app ecosystem risks within the Cisco security portfolio. Built around a cloud-native API approach, Cloudlock monitors user behavior, detects OAuth token abuse from malicious third-party apps, enforces DLP policies in Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and Slack, and identifies risky activities through its UBA (User Behavior Analytics) engine.
Best for: Cisco security ecosystem customers who need API-mode CASB for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce — particularly organizations concerned about OAuth app abuse and compromised account risks in their SaaS estate. -
11Oracle CASB
Oracle CASB Cloud Service provides visibility and threat detection across the entire cloud stack — covering workloads and applications on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as well as third-party SaaS and IaaS platforms. It continuously monitors for security threats and policy violations using machine learning-based behavioral baselines, generates risk scores for users and applications, and automates compliance reporting for standards like GDPR, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS — natively integrated with Oracle Identity Cloud and OCI Security.
