SaaS (Software as a Service) applications, due to their ease of launch and proliferation, have created a “perfect storm” for attackers, and a significant challenge for cybersecurity professionals. Organizations with over 1,000 employees typically use 150+ SaaS applications, often unmanaged, which expands the attack surface and poses a unique threat to entities like the federal government.

This week on Feds At the Edge, we discuss where the threats may lie and give practical information on attempting to control this new threat vector.

Mark Canter, CISO at US GAO, highlights the widespread lack of understanding about where data is used, emphasizing the importance of good data management practices. AI can play a pivotal role in systematically addressing this issue.

Tune in on your favorite podcasting platform as we explore why organizations should maintain accurate inventories of SaaS applications, identifying and managing shadow SaaS apps, and implementing robust governance practices to secure and optimize their SaaS ecosystems.
