TLDR:
- SaaS applications are crucial for modern businesses but introduce new vulnerabilities.
- A shift to a contextual approach is needed for SaaS app security.
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications have become essential for modern businesses, but they also introduce new vulnerabilities. Attacks originating from SaaS apps have been on the rise, including those from nation states. To address this trend, a shift to a contextual approach is necessary. This approach involves categorizing SaaS apps based on their criticality, understanding changing app usage patterns, and continuously evaluating historical data, current app usage, and potential attack vectors. Prioritization is key to responding effectively to threats.
