Short answer
A cloud access security broker (CASB) gives visibility into how your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace estate is being used. It can scan for misconfigurations, public file shares, risky OAuth grants and third-party app sprawl, and show which SaaS and AI tools staff are using. FirstNet delivers CASB through Netskope or Cloudflare.
In detail
What FirstNet does with the findings:
- Reviews them with you on a regular cadence
- Helps you work through remediation, such as closing public shares or removing risky app permissions
- Adds data loss prevention where needed to control egress of POPIA personal information
- Reports through dashboards suited to administrators and leadership
Which platform fits depends on your wider plans. Netskope's CASB sits on the same platform as its secure web gateway, DLP and Private Access. Cloudflare's CASB sits alongside Cloudflare Zero Trust and its application protection.
FirstNet's Microsoft 365 security work also covers identity controls such as MFA and conditional access, sensitivity labels, retention and audit trails.
A Microsoft 365 security assessment is a practical starting point: a tenant review, gap analysis and prioritised action plan.
