The problem is that while the Executive Order is a great start, the two primary requirements for putting Zero Trust into effect, MFA and encryption, don't really close all cloud security gaps.
These attack vectors show the importance of SaaS security management to cloud security as a whole.
Cloud security, even with a focus on establishing a Zero Trust Architecture, needs to incorporate SaaS application security.
The problem is that the Executive Order and most other compliance mandates assume that you oughta know about your risk posture because you're continuously monitoring your security.
SaaS platform management solutions meet your security where it lives, in the cloud, so you can automate your security at cloud-speed, reduce risk, and strengthen your security and compliance posture.
With SaaS applications becoming the rule rather than the exception for modern businesses, cloud security relies on continuously monitoring for risky SaaS misconfigurations.
