Security News > 2023 > February > SaaS in the Real World: Who's Responsible to Secure this Data?

Today, most security and IT teams understand the shared responsibility model, in which the SaaS vendor is responsible for securing the application, while the organization is responsible for securing their data.

SaaS data breaches and SaaS ransomware attacks can lead to the loss or public exposure of that data.

SaaS Vendor - While the SaaS vendor is absolved from any responsibility to secure the data, they are the team that built the security apparatus for the SaaS application, and have a deep knowledge of their application and its security capabilities.

Securing the entire SaaS stack requires close collaboration between the security experts and those managing and running their individual SaaS applications.

The data contained within the SaaS applications are often the lifeblood of an organization, and failure to secure the data can have disastrous consequences.

Fully protecting the data from exposure requires a cross-team effort and commitment from all parties involved, as well as a sophisticated SSPM platform built for SaaS in the real world.
