With data breaches and ransomware at an all-time high, security professionals are working diligently to lock down their infrastructure to stop attackers. Naturally, attackers are shifting their attention toward data where the organization’s security posture is less robust—their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environments.
Businesses are storing more business-critical and sensitive customer data in more SaaS services, often under the assumption that their SaaS provider fully safeguards this data. However, given the nature of the shared responsibility model, IT leaders must play a crucial role in ensuring SaaS data is secure.
The gravity of security vulnerabilities involving SaaS data cannot be overstated. These threats can lead to data breaches, incurring substantial fines and penalties, legal repercussions, and damaged brand reputation. Security breaches can also lead to data loss, which disrupts business operations and leads to downtime that can cost the average large enterprise $9,000 per minute.
