Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB): A service that acts as a gatekeeper, allowing organizations to extend their security policies beyond their own infrastructure to cloud services. It sits between the cloud service user and cloud applications and can enforce security policies such as authentication, single sign-on, and more. By providing visibility into and control over cloud applications, CASBs help organizations maintain compliance and protect data in the cloud.
