Cloud Access Security Broker

See the cloud you don't control.

Nexus CASB reveals the SaaS and AI apps your people actually use, scores their risk, governs OAuth access and catches cloud threats — extending your data policy to everything beyond the perimeter.

The problem

You can't govern the apps you can't see

Business units adopt SaaS faster than security can approve it, each app granting OAuth access and holding data you're accountable for. The perimeter went to the cloud; most controls didn't follow. Nexus CASB brings the unsanctioned, the misconfigured and the over-permissioned back into view — and under policy.

Shadow SaaS everywhere

Teams sign up for tools in minutes. CASB discovers them from your existing logs and ranks the risk.

SaaS drifts out of posture

Sanctioned apps get misconfigured over time. SSPM checks them against baselines and flags drift.

OAuth is an open door

Third-party apps hold standing tokens into your tenants. CASB surfaces and governs those grants.

Capabilities

Bring the cloud estate under control

Built into Nexus DLP — the CASB composes the same classification and policy engines, so cloud control speaks one language with endpoint and network.

Shadow-IT discovery

Parse proxy and firewall logs to reveal every SaaS and AI app in use, categorised and risk-ranked.

SaaS posture (SSPM)

Assess sanctioned SaaS against security baselines and alert on configuration drift.

OAuth governance

Inventory and govern third-party OAuth grants and app-to-app access to your tenants.

Cloud threat detection

Catch impossible travel, mass download, mass share and OAuth-grant spikes across cloud activity.

GenAI / shadow-AI control

Discover generative-AI usage and keep sensitive content out of prompts with adaptive responses.

Adaptive access

Decide in context — allow, monitor, step-up, limit or block — instead of a blunt all-or-nothing gate.

Architecture

API-mode and log-based, not another inline choke point

Discovery comes from logs you already produce; posture and governance work through SaaS APIs. The same per-org policy and classification engines drive every decision.

Part of the Nexus DLP build — every CASB engine is hermetic and ships within the 149/149 green self-test gate.

Discover

Shadow-IT and GenAI usage surfaced from proxy/firewall logs, categorised and risk-ranked.

Assess

SSPM evaluates SaaS posture against baselines; OAuth governance inventories third-party grants.

Detect

Cloud threat engines flag impossible travel, mass download/share and OAuth spikes.

Classify

Shared DLP classification identifies sensitive data moving to or within cloud apps.

Decide

Adaptive access chooses the proportionate response in context.

Enforce

Outcomes applied consistently with endpoint and network policy.

Deep dive

Discovery without an agent on every app

CASB learns your real SaaS footprint from logs you already generate, then enriches each app with category and risk so you can decide sanction, limit or block.

  • Shadow-IT and shadow-AI discovery from existing logs
  • Per-app category and risk scoring
  • Fold discovered apps straight into policy
  • GenAI usage made visible and governable
  • SSPM baseline checks with drift alerts
  • Third-party OAuth grant inventory and governance
  • Cloud threat detection across user activity
  • Adaptive, context-aware enforcement
Deep dive

Posture and access, continuously

Beyond discovery, CASB keeps your sanctioned estate healthy — checking posture and governing the OAuth grants that quietly accumulate.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is Nexus CASB a standalone product?+
It's built into Nexus DLP and composes the same classification and policy engines. It sells and deploys as a capability of the data-protection platform, so cloud control stays consistent with endpoint and network.
How does discovery work?+
From logs you already produce — proxy and firewall logs are parsed to reveal SaaS and AI apps in use, each categorised and risk-ranked, then foldable into policy.
Does it need an inline proxy?+
Discovery is log-based and posture/governance work through SaaS APIs, so it isn't dependent on being an inline choke point. Enforcement aligns with your DLP controls.
Can it govern generative AI?+
Yes — it discovers shadow-AI usage and applies adaptive control so sensitive content doesn't leave in a prompt.
