Securing Your SaaS: How AppOmni Mitigates SaaS Risks and Protects Data

The composition of cloud services includes, IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.  Recent market adoption of cloud security measures has been focused on the large-scale IaaS and PaaS vendors.  Meanwhile, with the explosion of business-critical SaaS applications, we find massive amounts of data including client and sensitive data reside in these SaaS systems.  The security teams remain unaware of the cyber risks that insecure SaaS and associated data represents. This risk blindness is largely due to the lack of cyber risk observability into critical SaaS apps. Many security risks in SaaS applications are not all that different than IaaS and PaaS services and center on misconfiguration, yet implementing security solutions to address them can require specific consideration based on the heterogeneity of SaaS apps.  

Come hear from industry experts from KPMG Canada and AppOmni to understand the commonalities of SaaS cybersecurity with other key cloud security use cases. Also learn best practice on how to mitigate the leading cyber threats facing SaaS, including end-user misconfiguration risk and the risk of an over-privileged data compromise.

SaaS Security | Core Areas and the Maturity Curve

The ubiquitous use of SaaS products has fundamentally changed the modern organization's attack surface. Organizations have moved critical business processes to SaaS tenants in search of agility, scalability and efficiency. In many cases, appropriate security controls have not followed. Attackers understand this change in attack surface and are increasingly taking advantage of the opportunity by targeting and breaching organizational SaaS tenants.

This talk will primarily focus on novel research of threat actor activity on one of the largest collections of disparate SaaS log data in the world. The presenter will detail a variety of real world SaaS tenant attacks observed in the wild by known and unknown threat actors and discuss associated TTPs and IoCs. In addition to attack research data, we'll provide historical context to understand how we've arrived in this situation and propose mitigation strategies to protect organizations from these attacks.

Modern Kill Chains: Real World SaaS Attacks and Mitigation Strategies

The proliferation of SaaS has led to an increase in both sophisticated and opportunistic attacks targeting SaaS vendors and end-customers alike.
Furthermore, ZTNA, SASE and Identity-based security strategies can be effective at establishing secure access channels to applications, but organizations cannot rely on these alone to establish their Zero Trust architecture.

Join this webinar where we’ll discuss:

The complexities of effectively hardening multiple large-scale SaaS deployments
How the traditional kill chain applies to SaaS, and the challenges SOC teams face
How SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) can be incorporated into existing security programmes like Zero Trust and CTEM

State of SaaS Security Report 2024: Bold Moves Required to Secure SaaS

See How to Achieve
1. Standardized least privilege access across your SaaS applications
2. Continuous monitoring and closed loop ZT implementation
3. Granular access decisions to prevent privilege misuse
4. Dynamic policy enforcement to reauthorize users based on context and behavior
5. Configuration assurance to prevent drift and ensure compliance

Enterprises are accelerating cloud migrations, building business resilience, and enabling hybrid work by adopting zero trust (ZT) architectures. According to the “Security Outcomes for Zero Trust” report by Cisco, 86% of respondents report that they have already started a ZT implementation.

Zero Trust Posture Management (ZTPM) extends the zero trust architecture beyond the network to SaaS applications and data. Join AppOmni CTO, Brian Soby to learn the ZTPM principles that secure THROUGH applications to create an end-to-end ZT architecture.

Bolstering SaaS Security with Zero Trust Posture Management

Recent breaches, from Snowflake to Midnight Blizzard, have underscored the security in SaaS environments exploited by hackers. Safeguarding these environments demands a proactive, integrated approach to threat detection and posture management. This session will explore the intersection of these domains, offering actionable insights and strategies to enhance SaaS security.

Guarding the SaaS Landscape: Integrating Threat Detection and Posture Management

Enterprises are accelerating cloud migrations, building business resilience, and enabling hybrid work by adopting zero trust (ZT) architectures. According to the “Security Outcomes for Zero Trust” report by Cisco, 86% of respondents report that they have already started a ZT implementation. 

Traditional ZT implementations are focused on securing user access TO applications using zero trust network access (ZTNA). However, as businesses increasingly rely on SaaS applications for their operations, security teams find that traditional ZTNA implementation often overlook critical gaps at the application and data level. These gaps include misconfigurations in access controls, unchecked privileges, data leaks, and overlooked third-party integrations. 

Zero Trust Posture Management (ZTPM) extends the zero trust architecture beyond the network to SaaS applications and data. Join AppOmni CTO, Brian Soby on Tuesday, June 18, 2024 to learn the ZTPM principles that secure THROUGH applications to create an end-to-end ZT architecture. See how to achieve:

1. Standardized least privilege access across your SaaS applications 
2. Continuous monitoring and closed loop ZT implementation
3. Granular access decisions to prevent privilege misuse
4. Dynamic policy enforcement to reauthorize users based on context and behavior
5. Configuration assurance to prevent drift and ensure compliance
