In recent years, the use of SaaS (Software as a Service) has increased explosively, and among SaaS, content sharing and data storage are one of the most popular genres. Due to the effects of the corona virus and remote work, an increasing number of companies are replacing file servers that were traditionally managed on-premises with SaaS-type cloud storage. "Box" is one of the representative products as a content cloud.
"Box" implements strong security and meticulous management functions, and it is possible to prevent information leaks due to external attacks. However, due to the spread of remote work, it is necessary to pay more attention to setting errors due to complicated access control settings and information leaks caused by malicious employees accessing and downloading files.
Macnica 's new "Security Monitoring App for Box" is a solution that provides further security monitoring for the content cloud "Box" and resolves these security concerns. It is provided as an app (add-on software) for the log analysis platform Splunk, and makes it possible to detect and monitor unauthorized access and configuration errors related to Box by using the event logs generated by Box. The app has the following features:
