Skyhigh for Box Offers Protection from Compromised Accounts and Rogue Insiders


Skyhigh Networks, the cloud security and enablement company, today announced its next-generation audit, compliance and governance capabilities for Box (News - Alert), empowering businesses to connect with customers, partners and employees in a whole new way. Skyhigh for Box delivers actionable insights and management over data without altering the Box end-user experience. This solution is part of Skyhigh's Security Intelligence Platform for Sanctioned Cloud Services announced in April of this year.

Organizations require an additional layer of protection and management for corporate data residing outside of the traditional network perimeter. The average enterprise uses 57 file sharing services and the average employee uses four distinct file sharing services.

Furthermore, file sharing services account for 39 percent of corporate data uploaded to the cloud, more than any other category. 23 percent of corporate data uploaded to cloud services is uploaded to Box, far more than to any other cloud service. Skyhigh for Box addresses security blind spots like insider threats, accidental data leakage and compromised accounts.

The new capabilities for Skyhigh for Box include:

  • Behavioral Analytics: Identifies and prevents data loss from compromised accounts and insider threats, driven by anomalies that take into account the context of the user (e.g. role and reputation), application, data, action, device and location.
  • Privileged User Analytics: Monitors all privileged user activities including escalation of privileges, user provisioning and unauthorized use for audit and compliance purposes.
  • Sensitive Data Analytics: Provides a detailed and continuous view of all sensitive data (such as PII, PHI or corporate IP) stored in these systems, where the data is located, who is accessing it and DLP violations based on the enterprise's policies.
  • Collaboration Analytics: Identifies the size, scope and relevance of all third paties (customers, suppliers, partners) collaborating with the enterprise, assesses the risks of partners, monitors data accessed by partners and reports on all exceptions to collaboration policies.
  • Security Policy Analytics: Discovers the current settings for all security configurations and suggests modifications to improve security based on industry best practices.
  • Alerting, Reporting and Remediation: Delivers real-time alerts, integrates with existing SIEMs, provides drill down capability for forensics and investigations and enables policy-driven remediation (e.g. block, quarantine, encrypt, force two-factor authentication).



These new features, along with Skyhigh for Box's existing capabilities such as Cloud Activity Monitoring, deliver a complete audit, compliance and governance solution for Box. To get a free Box Audit visit Skyhigh's website: http://info.skyhighnetworks.com/Free-Box-Audit.html
