iboss Named a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar Report for CASB — Validated for AI-Powered Cloud Security in the Vibe-Coded Era
As enterprises accelerate their adoption of SaaS platforms, IaaS infrastructure, remote workforces, and generative AI tools, the demand for robust cloud security has never been more urgent — or more complex. Against this backdrop, iboss, the AI-powered Zero Trust SASE platform, has been named a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar Report for Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) — one of the most respected independent analyst evaluations in enterprise cloud security.
The GigaOm Radar Report evaluated 14 leading CASB solutions against key capabilities, emerging features, and business criteria, providing organisations with an objective framework for making cloud security investment decisions. The dual designation of Leader and Outperformer places iboss in a select tier — recognising not only strong current performance but also a notably faster pace of innovation relative to peers. This recognition follows iboss's earlier Leader and Outperformer positioning in the GigaOm Radar for SASE, reinforcing a pattern of sustained independent validation across the cloud security market.
"With the vast number of vibe-coded apps being created today, legacy signature-based CASB that rely on fixed-size databases are no longer effective. Our approach to CASB ensures organisations can prevent data loss within apps that were created minutes ago using a simple AI prompt. iboss is focused on protecting organisations in the Vibe-Coded AI Era."
— Paul Martini, CEO, iboss
Why CASB Has Become a Critical Layer in Modern Cloud Security
Cloud Access Security Brokers sit between users and the cloud services they access, extending an organisation's security policies into environments that traditional perimeter-based tools were never designed to reach. As workforces became distributed and SaaS adoption accelerated, CASB emerged as the control point for visibility into cloud usage, data protection across applications, access enforcement, and regulatory compliance.
But the rise of vibe coding — where non-developers use generative AI to build functional cloud applications in minutes — has broken the traditional CASB model entirely. Legacy vendors rely on fixed databases of known applications requiring manual updates. When an entirely new application is created and deployed in minutes by an AI tool, there is no signature for the scanner to match, no API to connect to, and no entry in the catalogue to block. The enterprise is exposed before the security team even knows the app exists.
iboss built its AI-Powered CASB specifically to eliminate this dependency on signatures and catalogues — replacing them with machine learning-driven traffic analysis capable of identifying and controlling any application, including those created minutes ago, without requiring a signature, API integration, or manual update.
What the GigaOm Outperformer Designation Means
In the GigaOm Radar methodology, Leader status reflects strong overall platform performance across key capabilities, emerging features, and business criteria. The Outperformer designation is awarded separately and specifically recognises vendors whose pace of innovation significantly exceeds their current platform standing — meaning they are moving faster than the market average and are positioned to further strengthen their lead in future evaluations.
For iboss, GigaOm's recognition centres on two areas in particular: its signatureless CASB detection capability and its GenAI security monitoring — both of which address threats that the legacy CASB market has been structurally unable to handle. The report's earlier SASE evaluation also described iboss's AI-native architecture as "embedded from inception" — a signal that AI is not an add-on layer but a foundational design principle of the platform.
Core Capabilities of the iboss AI-Powered CASB
The iboss AI-Powered CASB is delivered as part of the broader iboss AI-Powered SASE Platform, which combines SWG, ZTNA, DLP, SSPM, browser isolation, and SD-WAN within a single unified architecture. The CASB capabilities that earned the GigaOm recognition span four distinct areas:
Signatureless Discovery with Dual Risk Scoring
ML algorithms analyse traffic patterns to identify any application — including zero-day and vibe-coded apps — without relying on a signature database. Each application receives two separate scores: one for application legitimacy and one for data loss potential, giving security teams a precise and actionable risk picture.
Real-Time DOM-Level Application Controls
Dynamic inspection and manipulation of fully-rendered page content — including TypeScript vibe-coded applications — enables iboss to disable file upload fields, prevent paste operations, remove share buttons, enforce tenant restrictions, and apply DLP policies to any application in real time, with no signatures or API integrations required.
GenAI Conversation Capture and DLP
Full monitoring and recording of AI chat interactions across ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Grok, and Claude, with real-time DLP enforcement that prevents sensitive data from reaching AI platforms before it is submitted — not after. This gives security and compliance teams complete visibility into how employees interact with generative AI services.
Shadow AI and Embedded AI Discovery
Signatureless identification of all AI services in use across the enterprise — including shadow AI tools employees are using without IT approval and AI capabilities embedded within applications that were never classified as AI tools. This surfaces a layer of AI usage that most organisations have no visibility into today.
"The era of the app catalog is over. Our AI-Powered CASB reads fully-rendered page content, identifies every file upload field, every form, every share button, and dynamically controls them in real time."
— Paul Martini, CEO, iboss
A Unified Platform — Not a Patchwork of Point Solutions
What differentiates iboss from many of its CASB peers is the architectural decision to deliver everything within a single unified platform. Rather than combining separate tools for CASB, ZTNA, SWG, DLP, and SSPM, iboss integrates all of these within one platform — ingesting deep signals across endpoint, network, and content, and surfacing the insights that security, networking, data protection, and executive teams need through built-in AI.
This unified approach directly addresses a pattern the GigaOm SASE Radar identified across the market: enterprises that have stitched together multivendor architectures face integration complexity and visibility gaps that undermine the fundamental promise of modern cloud security. A single platform with AI embedded from inception eliminates those gaps by design.
Key Takeaways
iboss has been named a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar Report for CASB — evaluated against 14 competitors and recognised for its signatureless detection and GenAI security monitoring capabilities.
The iboss AI-Powered CASB uses ML-driven signatureless discovery to identify and control any cloud application — including vibe-coded apps created minutes earlier — without requiring signatures, API integrations, or manual catalogue updates.
GenAI Conversation Capture and DLP monitors and enforces data protection policies across ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Grok, Claude, and other AI platforms in real time — before sensitive data is submitted.
Delivered as part of a single unified SASE platform with AI embedded from inception, iboss eliminates the integration gaps inherent in multivendor architectures — and is rated 4.8 out of 5.0 on Gartner Peer Insights.
The GigaOm CASB recognition arrives at a moment when the stakes of cloud application security have never been higher. As generative AI tools continue to lower the barrier to building and deploying applications, the window between an app's creation and its potential for misuse is shrinking to minutes. Legacy CASB approaches built for a world of catalogued, static applications are not equipped to defend that window. iboss's dual Leader and Outperformer positioning signals that it is not simply keeping pace with this shift — it is building ahead of it.
