As businesses increasingly lean on SaaS apps for vital operations from finance, HR, supply chain to cybersecurity tools, the security challenges around these deployments are becoming hard to overlook, especially with cyber-attacks on third-party tools on the rise.

With a staggering $208.08 billion forecasted SaaS spending in 2023 (adding up to 35% of all end-user public cloud spending) and the trajectory showing no signs of slowing down, the imperative for robust SaaS security and governance has never been more critical​.

Did you know that 93% of SaaS applications have at least one critical vulnerability? That means that the vast majority of SaaS applications are at risk of being exploited by attackers. And with 68% of organizations having experienced a data breach caused by a SaaS application, it’s clear that SaaS security is a major concern.

SaaS applications are convenient and agile, but they’re vulnerable to attack if not configured and managed properly. Misconfigurations and poor governance can lead to data breaches, cyber-attacks, and other costly security incidents.
