Security Broker (CASB) gives you both visibility into your entire cloud stack and the security automation tool your IT team needs.
The organization is obtaining managed services for the back-end environment as part of its subscription. This suggests that the organization is not responsible for managing the underlying infrastructure on which the web applications run. Instead, the infrastructure is being managed by a third-party service provider.
Based on this information, the type of cloud service that the organization is using is likely to be either Platform as a Service (PaaS) or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
With PaaS, the service provider manages the underlying infrastructure, including the hardware, operating system, and runtime environment, while the organization focuses on developing and deploying its applications. This is a good fit for the organization since it has custom web applications that have been moved to the cloud.
With IaaS, the service provider only manages the underlying infrastructure, including the hardware and virtualization layer. The organization is responsible for managing the operating system, runtime environment, and any applications that run on top of the infrastructure. This is less likely to be a good fit for the organization since it has custom web applications that require a specific runtime environment.
SaaS, or Software as a Service, is a cloud service model in which the service provider delivers software applications over the internet. The service provider manages the underlying infrastructure, operating system, and application software. This is not likely to be the type of service that the organization is using since it has custom web applications that have been moved to the cloud.
CASB, or Cloud Access Security Broker, is not a cloud service model, but rather a security solution that sits between an organization's on-premises infrastructure and cloud provider to monitor and manage access to cloud resources. This is also not likely to be the type of service that the organization is using since it has moved its custom web applications to the cloud and is obtaining managed services for the back-end environment as part of its subscription.
In conclusion, based on the information provided, the organization is likely using a Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud service model.
