Abstract

There is hardly any organization that can handle a data breach, which is why Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has become a crucial concern. Data breaches have gained global attention as organizations become more dependent on digital data, cloud services, and remote connectivity. Although cloud applications reduce costs and increase productivity, guarding and monitoring data in this environment is equally important. As more users connect directly to cloud services, there is an increased need to secure data stored in the cloud to meet compliance, privacy, and security requirements. Traditional DLP solutions largely fail to secure cloud data due to a lack of visibility and control over cloud activities which makes it essential for organizations to implement a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB). This study explores the benefits and challenges of implementing DLP in CASB, emphasizing the importance of a unified approach to data security in the cloud era. It further assesses whether Defender for Cloud Apps is effective in protecting organizations from data threats in the cloud.
