BDO’s cybersecurity service is a single
source for cyber-resilience, bringing
together a team of highly qualified
cybersecurity experts and leading
cybertechnologies like Bitglass’ next-gen
cloud access security broker (CASB)
solution. Bitglass enables real-time
threat protection and control over data
access from any device, including high-
risk unmanaged endpoints.
Together, Bitglass and BDO are working
to secure cloud deployments in all
organisations. The partnership highlights
the growing importance of cloud security
as part of a technology portfolio.
According to a recent Bitglass study,
81% of enterprises are now leveraging
cloud productivity suites. Fortunately, the
next-gen CASB’s ever-expanding partner
programme is designed to satisfy the
growing demand for secure cloud
around the world.
“Investments in cloud apps and cloud
security are accelerating as enterprises
adopt a cloud-first approach to IT,” said
Steve Armstrong, Regional Director,
UK Bitglass. “While major cloud app
vendors such as Amazon, Google and
Microsoft do a good job of keeping
the underlying infrastructure secure,
protecting the data that sits within
these cloud platforms is entirely the
responsibility of the enterprise using the
app. Maintaining robust security requires
a solution like CASB that offers data

“The combination of BDO’s skills in
cyber-risk evaluation and their ability
to advise on large scale deployments
reduces risk, improves security and
delivers rich and meaningful change
for enterprises across Europe. This
partnership extends Bitglass’ reach to
global clients to enable comprehensive
cloud data and threat protection,”
said Armstrong.
Jason Gottshalk, Partner at BDO, said:
“We’re thrilled to have Bitglass onboard
as a partner as demand for cloud
security accelerates in Europe.
“We have already seen a great deal
of interest in CASB as a means of
protecting data across apps and
services like Office 365 and AWS. The
needs of our clients – real-time security
for data in any app, granular DLP and
zero-day security – are well served by
Bitglass’ market-leading platform.” u
