Organizations have shifted from using a few discrete cloud applications to supporting an entire ecosystem around SaaS. Sanctioned applications, such as Salesforce or Office365, receive most of the attention. Yet when accounting for the third-party application extensions interconnected with these core applications, as well as unsanctioned applications employees use outside the purview of IT and security teams, the picture becomes much broader and more diverse. Because they often house sensitive data, it is critical that security teams ensure applications are properly configured, malware and compromised users are detected, and data is protected, all while controlling access from a range of both internal and third-party users. Yet an abundance of tools claiming to address these challenges has left many security teams unclear as to where to focus their attention.
To gain further insight into these trends, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 388 IT and cybersecurity professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) involved with securing their organization’s SaaS applications.
