Security News > 2022 > June > Manual vs. SSPM: Research on What Streamlines SaaS Security Detection & Remediation

When it comes to keeping SaaS stacks secure, IT and security teams need to be able to streamline the detection and remediation of misconfigurations in order to best protect their SaaS stack from threats.

While companies adopt more and more apps, their increase in SaaS security tools and staff has lagged behind, as found in the 2022 SaaS Security Survey Report.

The report finds that at least 43% of organizations have experienced a security incident as a result of a SaaS misconfiguration; however, with another 20% being "Unsure," the real number could be as high as 63%. These numbers are particularly striking when compared to the 17% of organizations experiencing security incidents due to an IaaS misconfiguration.

Overall, security teams trying to manage their SaaS security is not only overwhelmed but are also, in turn, leaving the organization exposed for a longer period of time.

The 2022 SaaS Security Survey Report found that the majority of these organizations run security checks once per week or more often, as seen in figure 4.

The data presented in the 2022 SaaS Security Survey Report highlights the drastic differences between companies using SSPM and those not, showing how valuable an SSPM, like Adaptive Shield, is to SaaS security detection and remediation.
