Skyhigh Cloud Access Security Broker (formerly McAfee MVISION Cloud) is a cloud access security broker (CASB) that protects data and stops threats in the cloud across SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS from a single, cloud-native enforcement point.
The feature that helps us in detecting the sensitive information being shared has been very useful. In addition, the feature that allows [Microsoft Cloud App Security] to apply policies with SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive is being used predominantly. It is a kind of unified solution. As compared to other solutions such as Netskope, Symantec, or McAfee, it provides a more unified reporting structure. It also integrates with other technologies. We have Azure Information Protection, and it goes well with the solutions that we are already using.
It is well suited for almost every organization [that] deals with sensitive data or [their] users have to perform certain sensitive actions that can go [into] financial loss if somehow there are attacked by [viruses] or malicious links. To prevent that a company must have certain apps prevent these and MVISION is [one] of them. so I recommend it.
Skyhigh is a leading CASB helps in identifying the bad services and protecting user data with a detokenization feature and also with the anomalies triggering alarms to customers for any suspicious activities. It provides users by providing blocking script to block service on the proxy or firewall and also shows the abilities to the user to balance the weight of risk service.
The interface is pretty simple and easy to use; however, you will need to do a lot of investigative research on your own to get comfortable with it. Originally, many of the Microsoft security tools had their own seperate consoles. Overtime, they have blended into one interface which is the ideal state. In some cases it is clear Microsoft had to pick which console a certain feature or setting was going to reside in and this leads to some confusion. For example, DLP is managed through Defender for Cloud Apps but you will also need to jump into Purview. For things like reverse proxy on your M365 tenant, you will need to go into Azure and setup conditional access rules. Not a big problem and I can understand why the settings are located where they are but for someone just starting out with Defender for Cloud Apps, it will take some time to figure out.
I have not utilized actual support but the Sales and Product teams have been super helpful in moving our implementation forward and showing us the best practices.
More flexible and more features with easy integration with cloud services like Microsoft Azure and other cloud services. Overall both gives similar features but we prefer Microsoft cloud app security due to its high threat detection rate. mostly we have been able to stop the threat in very very less time.
Cloud App Security saves us thousands of dollars finding and rectifying apps security issues
Identity Security Posture helps the organization identity stay in shape, saving thousands of dollars on security consultations
The cost of suffering a breach cannot be quantified, CAS helps minimize the chances of the attackers succeeding, with excellent historical logging for most operations
