Skyhigh Cloud Access Security Broker Reviews & Insights

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.

It really helps with data breaches as it provides a detailed report of the data that was downloaded to or from a particular device. It is suitable for services that deal with exclusive or sensitive content. Since it provides a detailed report of everything that was accessed by the devices on the Cloud, it becomes much easier to encounter any kind of malicious attacks and block certain services.

We use McAfee MVISION for detecting abnormal or malicious activities in our apps or if somehow the user clicked on malicious links and installed something MVISION helps us to detect these links. With these insights, we can plan on how to prevent these activities.it also helps us in identifying abnormal events like huge amounts of data transfer or large data downloads.

It is well suited for almost every organization [that] deals with sensitive data or [their] users have to perform certain sensitive actions that can go [into] financial loss if somehow there are attacked by [viruses] or malicious links. To prevent that a company must have certain apps prevent these and MVISION is [one] of them. so I recommend it.

Skyhigh is used by the data security team, where it helps us by noting the services browsed by the users in the organization. It not only shows the services but also marks the high-risk services with appropriate reasons. This helps us block those services in our organization from external attacks.

Skyhigh is best suited for notifying us of the bad services which are being run in the organization. It really reduces the time it takes for in-depth analysis of proxy logs. It is also helpful for notifying us of any abnormal activities performed by the users in the cloud apps. For example, if a user has left the company and then there was a huge amount of files downloaded from his drive, we may not have known. Here, Skyhigh helps by notifying us of anomaly-like data (high amounts of download and upload activities performed). This is one of the best scenarios I can say, where we see what actually is happening in the cloud drives for the organization. It also helps by notifying if there is any service or activity performed against any sort of compliance with its own mechanisms.

We use Skyhigh Cloud Access Security to monitor the users in our environment. With the decent UI and simple dashboards, we are able to determine what applications and websites the users are accessing. We can easily find if a user has accessed a malicious site or downloaded an unapproved application. With this information, we check the logs using other tools and know if it was a one time event or a regular one. This helped us to mitigate much of the risks that could have happened otherwise.

Consider a scenario where a user is accessing some information on a website which is infected with adware or coinminer. With the help of Skyhigh, we are able to determine the time at which the user has accessed the site. Using other tools, we can check the exact site which he/she visited when the event was generated and advise the user to not visit such sites or create a blacklist.

SkyHigh is a CASB solution that spans shadow IT all the way into API level control of sanctioned Apps. SkyHigh also allows us to integrate CASB controls into custom apps or cloud software that don't have native controls.

Skyhigh is great for an organization that is invested in office 365, box, etc and would like to apply the same controls across all the environments.
