This transition offers numerous advantages such as <strong>cost reduction, enhanced mobility, and seamless scalability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, <strong>Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions<\/strong> like Dropbox and Evernote, as well as <strong>Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies<\/strong>, are becoming standard practices in the corporate landscape.<\/p>\n<p>However, the cloud is not without its challenges. It raises <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/pitalls-of-using-cloud\/\">concerns about data privacy, security, and residency<\/a>. While avoiding the cloud altogether may not be the solution, it\u2019s crucial to understand that <strong>you don\u2019t have to compromise on these risks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you aim to leverage the benefits of cloud computing while <strong>ensuring the security of your data<\/strong>, here are five essential tools to consider.<\/p>\n<h2>Understanding Cloud Applications and Shadow IT<\/h2>\n<p>Before diving into the tools, let\u2019s discuss the concept of \u201cShadow IT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The term \u201cShadow IT\u201d refers to the use of IT systems and services <strong>without the formal consent or knowledge of the organization<\/strong>. Although not a new issue, it has become a heightened security concern due to the proliferation of cloud computing and the potential unauthorized use of SaaS applications.<\/p>\n<p>This situation <strong>complicates matters concerning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/facebook-account-security\/\">data security and privacy<\/a><\/strong>. Since the organization is unaware of these applications, it becomes challenging to enforce security policies to protect company data on these unidentified cloud platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Three out of the five tools listed in this article aim to address this issue by offering features for detecting cloud applications.<\/p>\n<h2>1. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forcepoint.com\/product\/forcepoint-one\">Forcepoint<\/a><\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/cloud-security-tools\/forcepoint.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"834\" alt=\"Forcepoint\"><\/figure>\n<p>Forcepoint, formerly known as Bitglass, offers <strong>transparent protection<\/strong> for your organization\u2019s data across both desktop and mobile platforms. The solution aims to <strong>minimize the risk of data loss while maintaining data visibility<\/strong>, whether the data is stored in the cloud or on mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>Forcepoint, formerly known as Bitglass, integrates a variety of security features into one comprehensive package. In terms of cloud applications, it is proficient at <strong>detecting unauthorized usage<\/strong> and also offers the ability to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/send-encrypted-emails\/\">encrypt data<\/a> prior to cloud uploads<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Forcepoint allows you to <strong>track your organizational data<\/strong> across the internet. This is especially useful when employees utilize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/file-sharing-tools\/\">personal file-sharing services<\/a>. The platform also provides safeguards against the risks associated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/track-lost-stolen-android-devices\/\">lost or stolen mobile devices<\/a>. Notably, Forcepoint <strong>can remotely erase data from mobile devices<\/strong> without the need for any additional software installations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forcepoint.com\/product\/forcepoint-one\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#2D89EF;border-color:#246ec0;border-radius:0px\" target=\"__blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:7px 20px;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;border-color:#6cadf4;border-radius:0px;text-shadow:none\"><i class=\"sui sui-external-link\" style=\"font-size:16px;color:#fff\"><\/i>  Visit Forcepoint <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>2. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.netskope.com\/\">Netskope<\/a><\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/cloud-security-tools\/netskope.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"953\" alt=\"Netskope\"><\/figure>\n<p>Netskope specializes in <strong>identifying and monitoring<\/strong> cloud applications and shadow IT activities within your network.
