Protecting data in the cloud requires companies to secure the data itself but also to guard against cyber attacks, stolen credentials and more.
Security specialistStratoKeyis announcing what it calls the ‘second generation’ ofcloudprotection using behavioural analytics tied to defensive countermeasures, as part of an update to its core StratoKey Cloud Access and Security Broker (CASB) platform.
It allows organisations to build behavioural analysis profiles that track specific user level metrics. These profiles are then tied into the StratoKey Countermeasure engine. When metrics within behavioural profiles are exceeded, StratoKey automatically enacts countermeasures to prevent the threat from progressing.

“Cloud encryption gateways started life as dumb gateways that waved users through, providing they entered appropriate authentication credentials,” says Anthony Scotney, founder and CEO of StratoKey. “The second generation of cloud encryption gateways (now known as Cloud Access Security Brokers) are defined by not only encryption, but by Behavioural Analysis, Monitoring and Countermeasures in a single solution that is flexible enough to support all of an organisation’s cloud applications”.
