Re: CASBs can, in fact, take action on the issues they highlight.
Thanks for your response to the article. I work with Tim at Evident.io, and while I understand your points, I want to clarify some things. Taking action is not sending the data off to a non-CASB product and throwing the issue over the wall.  Sure, if you are a legacy man-in-the-middle approach to control you can attempt to take action, but architecturally this would fail when cloud services are accessed outside the networks behind the CASB solution. "Public Cloud" is exactly that... unconstrained access from anywhere in the world. This is where the CASB approach fails. No CASB player has full API coverage for public cloud and therefore cannot lay claim that they are true hybrid coverage solutions, much less process the environments in real time and mitigate risk across the overall attack surface. Integrations with other point products is a referral network, and not core CASB remediation capability.

CASBs can, in fact, take action on the issues they highlight.
The comment by the gentleman from Evident.Io is plainly inaccurate. Multi-mode CASBs have gone far beyond Discovery for many years and can take a multitude of actions on anomalies, threats detected, DLP violations etc... both inline and out-of-band, including access control, alerting, quarantine, blocking, coaching, redirecting, encrypting/tokenizing and more. These actions can be taken across all modes, from out-of-band APIs to reverse proxy or full forward proxy.  They can be integrated with existing DLP, UBA, Threat Detection and IR solutions for end-to-end closed-loop remediation.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
