Explanation

Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) sit between cloud service consumers and cloud service providers, enforcing security policies including identity and access management (IAM) functions such as authentication, authorization, and single sign-on across cloud services. They act as third-party intermediaries that extend enterprise security controls into the cloud. AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm, SIEMs aggregate and analyze security logs, and DLPs (Data Loss Prevention tools) prevent unauthorized data exfiltration - none of these serve as third-party IAM providers for cloud environments.
