Cisco Cloudlock is the Right CASB is Cloud-First

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Cisco Cloudlock from other similar products?

It is possible to highlight 3 points: 1. Cisco Cloudlock integrates with cloud applications using native APIs instead of network proxies. It provides visibility into SaaS activity with minimal performance impact and easier deployment. 2. Rather than focusing on traffic blocking, Cloudlock utilizes user identity, activity monitoring, and behavioral anomaly detection using machine learning to identify threats and compromised accounts. 3. It was designed for SaaS security, delivering rapid deployment, simplified policy management, and data protection capabilities tailored to cloud applications.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect is the ability to provide API-level visibility and control across cloud applications without stopping users' workflows.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes it seems the feature set is narrower than that of other full-stack cloud security platforms.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is possible to recommend 3 points: 1. Start with a clear cloud inventory and map all SaaS apps (authorized and shadow it). 2. Define high-priority use cases. It will help to get quick wins. 3. Use API integration where possible to get data context and real-time visibility.
