Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used to monitor the activities of all the employees. In an industry that is dependent upon exclusive content and resources, it is necessary to have a service that keeps a tab on the resources and websites being accessed by everyone. Not only does it show each and every resource that has been accessed on a particular device, but it also narrows down their risk.

  • Identifies and rates high risk resources
  • Can be easily fused with several other apps especially Microsoft Office
  • The encryption service

Cons

  • The interface is a tad complicated, especially for a beginner
  • There are bugs that need to be addressed
  • Can be really slow

Most Important Features

  • Ability to integrate with other softwares
  • The security access cannot be breached
  • Highly accurate and detailed analysis and reports

Return on Investment

  • Has prevented the possibility of data leak
  • Easy integration has allowed it to be implemented throughout the organisation

Pros

  • It helps in identifying high risk services and also shows the reasons for its rating as high and also the user activity on that service like amount data uploaded/downloaded which helps us in easily tracking the bad services and blocking them in our organisation
  • It has a great User interface. Skyhigh has a great feature called Detokenization where only a user with a high level of authenticity can decrypt the tokenized user data in the UI. This is really a promising feature for customers: they like that they need not worry about our data since the entire thing is being encrypted
  • It helps in integrating cloud tools like office 365 ,box ,salesforce etc.Where for every abnormal activity there will be anomaly created and alerts customers that there is some suspicious thing is happening and notifies us to investigate

Cons

  • Skyhigh support should be improved a bit in pleasing customer needs during calls for any issue
  • Skyhigh need to reflect data from the integrated tools like office 365 /sales force without any time gap as most of the time it reflects data almost after 24 hrs where a customer may potentially be delayed in remediating to an incident
  • There should be email alerting system must be implemented in Skyhigh for every anomaly triggered.

Return on Investment

  • Notifying us about bad services and abnormal activities performed by user in the cloud drives
  • if I have to say negative impact that is a reflection of logs from cloud drives to Skyhigh is slow, where we will be losing huge time for remediation/containment of the issue
