Atos launches a new Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) Service using McAfee Skyhigh Security Cloud to safeguard enterprise applications and data in the Cloud.

The new Atos CASB service will give enterprise customers the ability to:

• Discover and remediate the risk from the use of ‘Shadow IT’ across the enterprise
• Control and enforce data privacy and compliance policies across Shadow IT, sanctioned Cloud apps such as Office 365, Box, Salesforce, and ServiceNow, and IaaS platforms such as AWS and Azure
• Protect enterprises’ data through persistent protection, wherever it moves within the Cloud

The McAfee Skyhigh market leading CASB solution completes Atos’ Cloud Security services and enables the secure digital transformation of its customers. It also supports its strategic offerings on Digital Workplace Services and Hybrid Cloud Services.
