Case Study: REA Group achieves secure, accelerated cloud adoption with Skyhigh Networks

REA Group takes a cloud-first approach to technology and security through parallel roadmaps to enable the business and foster collaboration

REA Group, a multinational digital advertising company that runs Australia’s leading property websites, faced a security and governance challenge as it expanded globally with a cloud-first model (about 90% SaaS). The IT team needed to discover and monitor cloud usage, enforce governance without stifling an open technology culture, and securely roll out sanctioned collaboration tools like Box while meeting its technology strategy pillars of discovery, reporting, risk assessment and policy control.

REA Group implemented Skyhigh’s CASB (Skyhigh for Shadow IT and Skyhigh for Box) because of its straightforward deployment and fast reporting. The solution delivered immediate visibility into cloud services, CloudTrust risk ratings to speed assessments, blocking of high‑risk sites, contextual access controls and DLP for Box, and UEBA-based policies—drastically reducing evaluation time, coaching users toward safer services and accelerating the company’s cloud adoption roadmap.
