McAfee , the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, today announced it has been positioned as a Leader in the 2020 Gartner “Magic Quadrant for Cloud Access Security Brokers” (CASB) for every one of the four years the quadrant has been published.  The report, which evaluates vendors based on their ability to execute and on their completeness of vision, positioned McAfee highest and furthest, respectively, for these attributes in the entire Magic Quadrant.

In its latest report, Gartner describes cloud access security brokers as an essential element of enterprise cloud security. But while the use of a CASB is crucial for companies wishing to secure cloud usage in their enterprises, it is just part of the overall security strategy businesses should use to ensure defense from device to cloud. For a comprehensive protection plan, businesses should also consider expanding on the capabilities of their CASB by deploying a secure web gateway (SWG) to help safeguard internet usage and device data loss prevention solution (DLP) to help protect intellectual property and protect sensitive corporate data across the network.
