Cloudflare's CASB provides granular data protection by allowing organizations to apply consistent data loss prevention (DLP) controls across cloud applications. This helps to prevent accidental or risky data sharing, as well as data exfiltration.

Cloudflare's CASB simplifies compliance efforts by offering better visibility across an organization's application portfolio. Cloudflare also helps to minimize data loss with DLP and other data protections. These features assist organizations with meeting various regulatory requirements, including GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA.

Cloudflare's CASB uses a multimode approach to secure SaaS applications. It continuously scans applications for misconfigurations, exposed files, and suspicious activities to secure data at rest. Additionally, it deploys inline CASB functionalities through Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) controls.

Cloudflare's CASB helps to identify shadow IT by logging every connection and request. This reveals unsanctioned SaaS applications and user actions within them, allowing organizations to easily build and enforce policies to either block or permit access to such applications.
