Recognizing the importance of SaaS security, Gartner named a new category, SaaS Security Posture Management, to distinguish solutions that have the capabilities to offer a continuous assessment of security risks arising from a SaaS application's deployment.
The results of the 2021 SaaS Security Survey Report present a picture of widespread SaaS application security concerns as well as uncovers less-than-best practices organizations are turning to de facto, while trying to manage the overwhelming amount of SaaS security configurations.
85% of respondents in the 2021 SaaS Security Survey Report cited SaaS misconfigurations as one of the top three risks facing their organization.
With the scope of the ever-growing portfolio of SaaS app estate, 52% of respondents report regularly putting responsibility for checking and maintaining SaaS security into the hands of the SaaS owner.
SaaS Security Posture Management, like Adaptive Shield, offers a powerful platform designed uniquely to enable security teams to proactively maintain continuous security across their interconnected, divergent SaaS application estate.
By automating monitoring and enforcement with Adaptive Shield, security teams no longer need to delegate responsibility to app owners, or have no visibility to the management of the security settings of the SaaS.
