This post was originally published here by Rich Campagna. A competing CASB vendor blogged recently on why proxy-based Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) shouldn’t be used for Office 365.

Do CASBs and Cloud SWGs Compete?
This post was originally published here by Rich Campagna. I’m frequently asked whether Secure Web Gateways (SWGs) and Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) compete.
