Gain visibility and control of sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud applications across your enterprise.
As IT infrastructures and applications migrate to cloud-based alternatives, traditional security monitoring solutions lose visibility and control. Your users have access to free, cloud-based collaboration and file-sharing applications, which may violate or circumvent your organizational security controls and policies. This issue is particularly prevalent in organizations with mobile workforces.
“Shadow IT” — a term used to describe the use of computing resources and applications that are not sponsored by or under the control of an organization’s IT department — bypasses traditional security controls and policies. This leaves your organization vulnerable to the misuse of applications while increasing your risk of regulatory violations and data exposure. To secure sensitive data stored in cloud applications, you must:
- Identify which cloud applications employees are using and how they are using them
- Determine appropriate applications to meet business needs
- Sanction required services
- Enforce company or regulatory requirements
Identify violators and threats to security
DXC Managed Cloud Access Security Broker protects sensitive data by identifying cloud applications being used in your organization, determining which applications should be sanctioned, and creating and enforcing security policies through continuous monitoring and threat analysis. This approach to managing cloud security access prevents attackers or disgruntled employees from exposing or disseminating confidential company information. Additionally, it ensures compliance with regulatory requirements by demonstrating your adherence to security policies.
If your company has data residency concerns or mandates to encrypt data stored in cloud applications hosted outside of your country or region, take advantage of our optional data encryption and tokenization service. It adds an extra layer of security without affecting application functionality.

Your organization may already know which cloud applications are in use but requires further understanding of how those apps are being used and what data is stored in them. You can accomplish this objective by using application APIs or hosted gateway
solutions to monitor sanctioned applications.
If your organization has stringent security requirements, such as encrypting data to ensure its integrity and maintaining residency of data stored in cloud applications, you may benefit from our optional encryption and tokenization gateway service.
