Security News > 2021 > October > SaaS adoption growing, but so are security concerns
A BetterCloud survey of more than 500 IT and security professionals reveals the latest challenges of managing SaaS at scale, particularly as digital transformation catapulted forward in 2021 - and IT kept the momentum going.
SaaS security is top of mind for IT. 69 percent of respondents worry about unsanctioned SaaS apps.
46 percent say they have difficulties securing user activities within SaaS apps.
This year, as the world reopened for business, SaaS file security violations have spiked 134 percent, and files containing PII have grown 1944 percent year over year.
SaaS-Powered Workplaces report that 45 percent of their SaaS operations are already automated and estimate it will rise to nearly 80 percent within the next three years.
"But we've also consistently seen the management and security challenges move in lockstep with that growth. This year's report once again sheds light on IT's biggest pain points and concerns, and the trends in SaaS adoption fueling business."
