Cisco CloudLock
We use Cisco Cloudlock to monitor access to our cloud infrastructure and protect sensitive data. Our organization has been able to identify when unauthorized data access has occurred and allowed the security team to take steps to secure and mitigate recovery. We monitor data and network access to our data from outside the US, personal email sharing, credit card information sharing, social security number sharing, apps in use, and general data risk with Cloudlock.
- Setup.
- Cloud access monitor.
- Notification.
- IP identification.
- User identification.
- Integration with other Cisco products.
- Unknown user identification.
- App risk dashboard.
- Data Risk.
- Behavioral Risk.
- Policies.
- Allowed data to be accessed.
- Secured data.
- Meet client security requirements.
We have not used other cloud security products. While choosing a product a large factor was the current and future integrations with other Cisco security stack products. While this product is not the most affordable, the security provided to the organization and client data is well worth the investment. We use SecureX to integrate and perform automated responses.

Excellent Security for Cloud Content or Systems and Database.
Cisco CloudLock is there to protect, monitor, and secure all the sensitive content in a company, for instance, the encryption key, credit card numbers, and others. Cisco CloudLock uses the access security brokers, which are on [the] cloud, and they help the company to have safe system controls. More so, Cisco CloudLock has alert systems, which are in the form of notifications, making the system controllers away [from] the business operations. Finally, Cisco CloudLock closely monitors the sensitive database, and [keeps] a shield to keep any attack away from the system.
- Cisco CloudLock offers a remote access options, very efficient and standard.
- Robust data security and monitoring of the sensitive database.
- Has an excellent self service, which is an option for quick operational progress.
- Unfortunately, the security notifications takes longer to be delivered.
- Uncontrollable prices, very high for the common users or application subscribers.
- The interface sometimes tricks the new subscribers, more so those without any class orientation.
- Cisco CloudLock has an instant notification, in the matter security procedures.
- Cisco CloudLock has an efficient self-service procedure or extension, for suitable business management.
- Close monitoring of every form of database, and report giving for effective actions to be taken.
- Cisco CloudLock makes the sensitive content more secure, easily monitored and operations are always functional.
- Further, Cisco CloudLock has an automatic notification option, that makes investors understand when things are not well operational.
- Finally, Cisco CloudLock supports the self-service workflow or operations, making the company more friendly and flowing.
Cisco CloudLock has an automatic approach to matters safety, analysis, and monitoring. Further, Cisco CloudLock has supported encryption, making it standard and simpler. Again, Cisco CloudLock [ensures] that credible details and documents such as credit card numbers are fully protected and encrypted by the software. Finally, Cisco CloudLock works closely with the G-Suite, the main cloud space for storage.

Cisco CloudLock for Cloud Security Solutions
We basically use Cisco CloudLock to protect sensitive information along with another security measure we use with our applications. It includes very critical information like credit card numbers, encryption keys, etc. We particularly use BaNCS where we develop software that has high risk and involves banking. As the scope of the software is large and includes millions we set alerts and trigger risk mechanisms in case of inappropriate or malicious actions from the user side.
- Efficient alert mechanism for inappropriate actions.
- UI is good and well managed.
- We don't have to switch to other portal, we can take action within G suite.
- Although alert mechanism is good but it delays a bit.
- For implementation of DLP we had to hire a expert it took a lot of time to set up.
- Support [in my experience] is not good.
- Alert mechanism is really important.
- Action within the G suite.
- Secure connection with remote access.
- It has very positive impact.
- Less monitoring spend.
- Very cost effective.
It has a better alert mechanism and provides the facility to take action within the G Suite. With McAfee, we did not have these features and it is more cost-effective than McAfee. Although they are similar, now that we have used Cisco CloudLock, I would recommend using Cisco CloudLock rather than McAfee Defense.
We use Cisco CloudLock primarily to protect sensitive data from exposure in our Google Drive. Google has been able to go a long way toward replacing other forms of file sharing in our organization, but we still don't want some types of sensitive data there. With a very low false-positive rate (and certainly with no fancy regex configuration required), we can detect social security numbers and credit cards in our Google drive. Automatically notify the user, give them time to take action, and transfer the files out of their account to a secure location if they do not respond. This self-service workflow that Cisco CloudLock enables is why it can scale to such a large organization as ours. Our G Suite user count is relatively massive, but this product works well with minimal IT support. We sometimes need to flag false positives as such (usually in training documents designed to look like the data we're restricting). Cisco CloudLock also has other great features that help us manage our G Suite environment.
- Self-service workflows
- DLP detection with low false positives
- Good interface for managing incidents
- Locate and take action on any files within our G Suite implementation
- The security event notifications don't come as quickly as I would like
- Audit compliance around sensitive data
- Protecting against accidental exposure
- Help IT Operations triage of other Google Drive related issues
