Fortra Cloud Access Security Broker

Fortra Cloud Access Security Broker is the current successor target for the old CipherCloud CASB listing. It focuses on securing cloud application usage by improving visibility, enforcing access policies, reducing data exposure, and detecting risky activity across SaaS environments.

The platform sits in the CASB control layer between users and cloud applications. It helps security teams apply policy to sanctioned SaaS usage, monitor risky behavior, and protect sensitive data with controls such as DLP and cloud application governance.

Operationally, CASB value depends on careful application coverage, identity integration, policy tuning, and exception handling. Organizations should expect to spend time mapping business workflows to policies so that controls reduce risk without blocking legitimate cloud usage.

The tool is most relevant where SaaS adoption has outpaced security visibility, or where compliance requirements demand stronger controls over data movement, access, and user behavior in cloud applications.
