Netskope CASB vs. Tenable Cloud Security

The Netskope CASB solution is well-suited for any company due to the proliferation of SaaS applications. With the agent being installed on endpoints, the product is well suited for remote work environments where a managed corporate network may not be available. The agent allows visibility and controls to be applied to any networks the devices connect to.

In its current version, it is basic. There are nice new features that should provide a good overall picture of the configuration and security of the account.

There have been some struggles with their infrastructure keeping pace with demand and load. Support can only do so much and has to defer to known problems being escalated.

I find that Netskope CASB provides a larger catalog of SaaS applications and provides additional security controls for each app, allowing granularity to what actions end users can perform on the sites. This goes beyond simple block download/block upload, making it highly effective at enforcing the actions outlined in corporate policies.

We looked at this over a year ago, the space was still young. Censys provided what we originally needed, but was soon outdone by Tenable with their initial release. I am sure that Censys improved as well, but it was easier to expand on our current Tenable license.

Incentivized

• Identify non-sanctioned cloud applications.
• Justify use and expansion of IaaS.
• Track sensitive data flows in and out of Cloud.

Incentivized

• Being a Tenable One customer - these are just new features we suddenly own. As long as you have the asset count available
