The rapid proliferation of shadow SaaS applications presents a growing cybersecurity challenge for enterprises. These unmanaged tools, often adopted without IT oversight, can expose sensitive data, create compliance risks, and bypass established security protocols. As employees seek quick solutions for collaboration and productivity, shadow SaaS usage increases the attack surface, making organizations more vulnerable to breaches and data loss. Addressing this issue requires a strategic approach to network and security management that provides visibility, control, and protection without hindering user flexibility.
Aryaka Unified SASE integrates networking and security into an all-in-one, as-a-service solution designed to streamline and modernize enterprise infrastructure. With Aryaka, organizations can configure, manage, and monitor their networks, security, applications, and users through a single, centralized management console, eliminating the need for disjointed, single-point solutions. A key feature of Aryaka’s Unified SASE solution is its innovative single-pass architecture, which enables comprehensive inspection and processing of data packets in one seamless operation. This approach minimizes latency, reduces the attack surface, and optimizes performance across the network. To address the growing challenges of shadow IT, Aryaka Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) adds an essential layer of protection, providing visibility and control over unmanaged SaaS applications to safeguard sensitive data and ensure compliance.
Aryaka Unified SASE with CASB secures and enforces policies on application traffic passing through your network. Aryaka CASB uses deep packet inspection and granular access control, and single pane of glass visibility to discover, monitor, and gatekeep all application traffic. Branch and remote users are protected from the security threats posed by unsanctioned cloud applications.
Switching from a third-party CASB to Aryaka’s native CASB, integrated within the Aryaka Unified SASE as a Service platform, delivers significant benefits. Unlike standalone solutions that require complex integrations and separate management, Aryaka CASB is seamlessly embedded into a single-vendor architecture. This native integration ensures consistent policy enforcement, streamlined management through a unified console, and reduced latency by eliminating the need for additional data processing layers. With Aryaka CASB, enterprises gain enhanced visibility and control over shadow SaaS applications while simplifying their operations and reducing the risks associated with fragmented security approaches.
