My advice to others looking into using Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker is that more AI features are needed. Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker has helped with regulatory compliance and meeting industry standards by fully following them. Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker supports incident response and forensics in my organization as it is covered by endpoint and network security. Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker integrates very easily with other security tools and platforms we use by connecting through ports. We monitor and manage alerts generated by Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker using internal tools. Regarding whether Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker has helped me detect or respond to threats faster, it would be better to do segmentation and micro-segmentation. I would rate this review a 9.

If you are a first-time user, I would definitely recommend the solution. Before making all those decisions, I think you also need to understand how your applications, particularly, are internet exposed and how much you are ready for integrations to Proofpoint since just bringing up the tool is not the only solution. You need to have your gateways, and you need to have your internal firewall security rules, exposure, and DMZs accurately configured for those applications to be exposed. Then, Proofpoint sits on top of it as a good gatekeeper for anything which is malicious, vulnerable, or dangerous for those applications. It's kind of a partnership, and you have to be well-prepared before bringing anything like Proofpoint into the environment. I will say it was a little easy to work with Microsoft because most of the applications that my organizations have built, developed, and hosted are on Azure. My integration with Microsoft CASB during PoC was a little smoother as compared to bringing up a third-party solution. The experience with Proofpoint and its overall features was a little better and higher. The integrations and building or putting applications behind CASB in Microsoft were a little smoother compared to Proofpoint. I don't want to take anything away from the fact that they are ahead of Microsoft from a research perspective and bringing new changes and enhancements into the system. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use both the cloud and on-premises deployment model. I would advise others considering the solution to make sure they have a good integration plan. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

They offer real-time view of application usage, user activity, and data protection, giving enterprises the ability to ensure compliance and mitigate threats.CASB act as intermediaries between cloud service users and cloud providers, enforcing security policies and managing risks. By monitoring access, encryption, and data movement, these platforms help organizations maintain visibility and control...
