If you are thinking about using the cloud for your business but you’re concerned about security, there are new tools that can help.  Cloud access security broker tools can add a layer of security that works in multiple ways, and they can be very easy to use.

Cloud access security broker tools can encrypt data, control traffic, protect data in use over multiple devices, and identify other cloud apps in use that may pose a security risk.  While there are some good forward proxy options, they can be difficult to use.  Reverse proxy options can be accessible from multiple locations, can provide end-user privacy, and are simple to deploy.

Providing a good user experience is key to effective security.  If your security measures are too burdensome for your employees, you will end up with some employees who will do an end run around your measures, opening your company up to security breaches.  Cloud access security broker tools can provide security while being easy to use for employees and offering them privacy and mobility.
