SaaS Security / Identity Management
Introduction: Why Hack When You Can Log In?
SaaS applications are essential for modern organizations, enhancing productivity and operational efficiency. However, each new application introduces significant security risks through integrations and multiple users, creating potential access points for cyber threats. Recent data reveals a troubling rise in SaaS breaches; according to a May 2024 XM Cyber report, identity and credential misconfigurations were responsible for 80% of security exposures. Subtle indicators of compromise often go unnoticed amid the noise, allowing multi-stage attacks to develop undetected due to disconnected security measures.
