As the adoption of enterprise SaaS grows, high-profile SaaS application data breaches are also on the rise. CISOs are ultimately responsible for the security of their organization’s data and must implement appropriate security settings for their environments. The challenge is that the most widely-used gateway architecture solutions don’t deliver visibility into the complex, unique characteristics of different SaaS applications.
Join this Boardroom to discuss:
- How to better secure your organization’s SaaS data
- How to understand the similarities and differences between your Public Cloud and SaaS security postures, and how to standardize security across your clouds
- How to gain immediate visibility into what data can be accessed by all types of users and integrations
