# What cloud edge security tools are best for companies moving workloads from on-premise to multi-cloud that need security controls to follow the data?

Moving workloads to multiple clouds shifts the security question from where the perimeter sits to whether controls travel with the data itself, so these picks emphasize data-centric enforcement across environments. The top tools from the Cloud Edge Security category that stood out to me include Prisma Access, Forcepoint Data Security Cloud, Cato SASE Cloud, and Netskope One Platform.

Prisma Access is credited by reviewers with applying one policy framework across users, sites, and cloud-hosted apps, which reviewers say kept protection consistent as they moved traffic off the data center. Reviewers note integration with existing infrastructure can take planning during the shift.
Forcepoint Data Security Cloud is built around data-centric controls, and reviewers value unified DLP and CASB that protect sensitive files across endpoints, web, SaaS, and IaaS through endpoint, inline proxy, and API connectors. Reviewers point to pricing and policy tuning as areas that take time to get right.
Cato SASE Cloud is praised for consistent, single-pass inspection everywhere on its private backbone, which reviewers say holds enforcement steady as workloads and sites change. Reviewers mention it lacks some advanced controls like full DLP and web application firewall.
Netskope One Platform is described by reviewers as strong at cloud and SaaS visibility, with granular DLP that follows data movement and blocks uploads to unsanctioned services across clouds. Reviewers note it is pricier than some rivals and best justified when it replaces several tools.

As your data lands in more clouds, is your bigger gap visibility into where it goes or enforcement once it moves? And has anyone paired a data-security layer with a separate access layer here?

Forcepoint and Netskope are the two that actually watch the file or data object as it moves between clouds, which is closer to what the question is asking for. Cato admits as much itself, since reviewers note it still lacks full DLP. That makes me think most teams end up stacking a connection-consistency layer with a real DLP layer rather than getting both from one platform, which brings back some of the tool sprawl the multi-cloud move was supposed to reduce in the first place. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 12 days ago - Author title: SEO Content Writer ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 4
