Great for Cloud visibility **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2022 **What do you like best about Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker?** My favorite ability is the O365 DLP functions. It provides metrics on all O365 files and their share status. This allowed us to remediate 'publicly available' files that we were not aware of very quickly. Additionally, we were able to create rules to automatically remediate future instances, too. **What do you dislike about Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker?** The initial config was a bit cumbersome due to not having log ingestion configs for Cisco Firepower. We worked with Proofpoint Professional Services and was able to resolve the issue in a fairly quick manner. I would not expect these types of issues for common/popular solutions. **What problems is Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker solving and how is that benefiting you?** DLP and 3rd Party Application management. As discussed above O365 DLP has been beneficial, as well as the 3rd Party Application management. This allows us to prevent known malicious/approved applications. ### 6. CASB that adds value to Security department **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel O. | IM Security Lead Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker?** I like many features of Proofpoint CASB, AzureAD integration is quite easy and it has a Splunk TA that will help organizations that are looking for this implementation. It's also easier to look at sign ins information than use Azure AD portal. **What do you dislike about Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker?** The Zscaler integration could be a little easier. It would be better if Proofpoint could deliver a virtual appliance intead having to provision a linux server and install the integration app on it. **Recommendations to others considering Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker:** CASB is a must have for organizations that takes Cloud Security seriously. You can't rely on Office 365 and AzureAD alerts without having some form of intelygency checking all apps and signins behind the scenes. **What problems is Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker solving and how is that benefiting you?** AzureAD Signing monitoring/alerting DLP for Office 365 Office 365 App governance ### 7.
