Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps vs. Obsidian Security vs. Oracle CASB (discontinued)

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is well suited when working with other Microsoft Applications. For example, if you are working with Microsoft Office 365 it works very well when implementing CASB features. It works when implementing monitoring or blocks on Sanctioned applications however customizing the message to users is not that great.

Our essential cloud data and infrastructure are protected by Oracle CASB Cloud Service. Oracle CASB Cloud Service is the industry standard for cloud security. They've put in enough time and effort to be able to provide services that rival the best in the business. This program comes highly recommended by me. However, even if it's evident because that's its primary function, it's so satisfying as an administrator in my image to have the security point in control, as that implies that my processes are simple and sensitive data is safe.

• The integration to Microsoft Entra ID is seamless, which allows Conditional Access to redirect the session to Microsoft Defender for Cloud App for it to take actions (Block or Monitor).
• Tracker users' activity is very good when troubleshooting or running an investigate.
• Detecting risky users through tight integration with Microsoft Entra ID is a very good feature.
• Detecting mass downloads and blocking the download of files from non-manage company devices is a very good feature as well.

• With Oracle CASB Cloud Service, it is feasible to cover both Oracle ERP and Microsoft products.
• Employees should be audited and actively monitored for any signs of wrongdoing.
• This technology is necessary since we save all of our data on the cloud.

• It takes some time to scan and apply the policies when there is some sensitive information.
• After it applies the policies, it works, but there is a delay.
• It doesn't provide any way to scan Microsoft Teams when an external exchange of images is happening. You can always do the filtering on the documents during the chat, but if there is an image, then some kind of OCR capability is required to detect it. At present, there is no way [Microsoft Cloud App Security] can go and detect those kinds of images and alert us

• The 3rd party apps could be handled more simply.
• Notifications may be a distraction, especially if they're sent loudly when you're trying to concentrate on your task.
• I think it's difficult to grasp at first.

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.

Take into account that security is essential in any organization, but more so when you're in control and need to ensure that everything is running smoothly. A good place to start looking for framework security would be Oracle CASB Cloud Service.
