I’m a sucker for a challenge.

My niece Kaydence recently told me about the Mannequin Challenge, which has swept the internet in the past few months. You’ve probably seen one – a big group of people remain totally motionless while a video camera swoops around them.

Today, cybersecurity is a hot topic. You can’t turn on the news without hearing about hacking, protecting against hacking or other cybersecurity-related topics. In fact, the term “Cyber”, no longer meaning “Cybernetic”, has become IT slang for “Cybersecurity”. Cybersecurity is portrayed today as a war between the good guys and bad guys. This war is nothing new, in fact cybersecurity began when humans made the first technological advance.

Over the last year, I’ve been asked many times about Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB)s. Even if people don’t use those words, the topic comes up over and over. This blog is a quick reference to discuss cloud authentication, Single-Sign-On (SSO) and other related technologies.
