The Shadow IT Problem

Your employees aren't using unauthorized apps to be malicious. They're trying to do their jobs faster. But the data risk is real — and you can't protect what you can't see.

Unsanctioned Apps Everywhere

Employees routinely use personal Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer, and Telegram to share company files — because it's faster than the approved channels. Each of these transfers is invisible to your IT and security teams.

Data to Personal Accounts

Office 365 documents uploaded to a personal Google Drive account. Salesforce exports saved to personal Dropbox. This data movement is impossible to detect without CASB — and impossible to prove without an audit trail.

Risky App Categories

Free file converters, AI writing tools, note-taking apps, translation services — all of them have access to whatever file or text your employee pastes in. Proprietary code, customer PII, financial projections — all potentially exfiltrated with a single click.

Compliance Exposure

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023 requires organizations to know where personal data is stored and processed. You cannot demonstrate compliance if you cannot see where your data is going. Regulators don't accept "we didn't know" as a defence.

What Cato CASB Gives You

Complete cloud app visibility and control — both inline in real time and via API for deep SaaS inspection — built into the platform you're already using.

Shadow IT Discovery

Identify every cloud app in use across your organization — categorized by risk score, user, data volume, and compliance posture. See the full picture of what's running on your network, not just what's approved.

Sanctioned App Control

Allow, monitor, or block specific apps — or specific activities within apps. Allow uploads to corporate OneDrive but block uploads to personal OneDrive. Allow reading Dropbox but block file downloads. Granular, per-activity control.

Inline CASB

No API-only blind spots. Cato inspects all traffic inline — catching uploads and downloads in real time, before they complete. Stop the exfiltration event before it happens, not after you've discovered the damage.

API-Based CASB

Deep inspection of sanctioned SaaS apps — Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Box — via direct API integration. Catch sharing violations, external collaborator permissions, and sensitive data stored in the wrong location, even after the fact.

User Attribution

Every app event tied to a specific user identity — not just an IP address. When an incident occurs, you know exactly which employee took which action, on which device, at what time. Full accountability with zero ambiguity.

Risk Scoring

Automatic risk scoring for each discovered app based on security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2), data handling practices, GDPR/DPDPA posture, and compliance history. Prioritize which shadow IT to address first.

Regulatory Compliance

DPDPA 2023 Requires You to Know Where Personal Data Goes

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 places specific obligations on Data Fiduciaries to ensure personal data is processed only for stated purposes, stored only as long as necessary, and not transmitted to unauthorized parties or geographies.

If your employees are uploading customer data to personal cloud storage or third-party AI tools, you have a compliance problem — even if it wasn't intentional. DPDPA doesn't make exceptions for accidental data sharing.

Cato CASB gives you the audit trail, real-time blocking capability, and reporting needed to demonstrate DPDPA compliance to your DPO and regulators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cato CASB and how it handles cloud app control in enterprise environments.

Inline CASB intercepts traffic in real time as it passes through the Cato PoP — it can stop an upload before it completes. If someone tries to upload a sensitive file to a personal Google Drive, the block happens mid-stream. API-based CASB connects directly to sanctioned SaaS apps via their APIs and scans cloud storage after the fact — finding violations that already occurred, such as a document shared externally with the wrong permissions. Cato does both simultaneously, giving you the best of real-time prevention and retrospective detection.

Yes — this is one of the most important CASB capabilities for preventing insider data leakage. Cato can enforce different policies for your corporate tenant (mycompany.sharepoint.com) versus a personal Microsoft account (personal.onedrive.com) using tenant restrictions. Similarly, Cato can allow uploads to the company's Google Workspace domain while blocking uploads to personal Gmail-associated Google Drive. The same app, controlled differently based on the account context.

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 requires Data Fiduciaries to know where personal data is stored, processed, and transmitted. Cato CASB provides a comprehensive audit trail of all data movements to cloud apps — which user, which app, which data, at what time. This is essential for demonstrating DPDPA compliance to your Data Protection Officer and, if needed, to the Data Protection Board of India. Additionally, Cato CASB can enforce policies that prevent personal data from being uploaded to apps that fail your compliance criteria — turning DPDPA compliance from a reporting exercise into an actively enforced control.

No additional hardware required. Cato CASB is built into the Cato SASE platform — it runs on the same global infrastructure as SWG, ZTNA, FWaaS, and IPS. If you are already a Cato customer, enabling CASB is a license activation in the management console — the agent you already deployed handles traffic inspection. If you are new to Cato, the entire platform deploys via the Cato Client software agent plus cloud-side configuration. There are no proxy appliances, no CASB gateways, and no additional hardware procurement involved.
