SaaS is the operating system of business - organizations have come to rely on their SaaS applications to conduct business. But SaaS also now represents one of the largest attack surfaces that businesses have to defend. Why has SaaS become the new battleground in cybersecurity and how are attacks happening?  

Join AppOmni security researchers on this webinar to learn more about the SaaS threat landscape. You will learn: 
- What the modern SaaS attack surface and kill chain look like
- What Threat Actors are going after SaaS?
- Why are the attackers winning?
- What are the common TTPs in SaaS attacks
- Effective controls to reduce the likelihood of Threat Actor success

The webinar will also discuss the key aspects of how to construct a SaaS security program to gain control over your SaaS estate.

Understanding and Protecting your SaaS Attack Surface - Threat Briefing Analysis

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

Securing SaaS in the era of Zero Trust

What you’ll learn

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

SaaS is now the de facto IT operating model, hosting critical data and workflows across 500 to 1,000 apps for the average enterprise organization. Security teams and app owners alike have faced challenges with a lack of visibility into the cyber risk that each SaaS app and SaaS-to-SaaS connection presents.

Now, solutions like SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) enable unparalleled observability, continuous monitoring, and control over an entire SaaS estate. By adopting SSPM as part of a broader security program, enterprises can move to a risk-based approach to SaaS security.

Join AppOmni’s SaaS security experts as they dive into:
- The growing adoption of SaaS as the leading driver of public cloud growth
- The criticality of SaaS data, the cornerstone of many enterprise operations
- Insights on the Salesforce Community data leak risks
- The reality of a SaaS breach, highlighting key SaaS breaches
- Best practices for SaaS cyber risk prioritization
- Recommendations for securing your SaaS estate

The Importance of Building and Scaling a Salesforce SaaS Cybersecurity Program

The major breaches of 2023 were primarily associated with SaaS applications. Despite the critical role SaaS apps play in numerous businesses, many security teams do not have the expertise and tools to safeguard against these breaches. This is where SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) can help.

Join us for a review of the SaaS breaches of 2023 as we:

• Highlight methods and mitigations used in 2023 SaaS breaches
• Assess tactics for breaches in 2024
• Discuss the significance of a posture-centric approach to SaaS Security

I Just Can't Wait to be Secure: 2023's SaaS Breaches

Well-orchestrated spear phishing campaigns targeted at SaaS super admins are swiftly becoming a leading cyber threat. Threat actors are finding new ways to steal credentials from highly privileged accounts to “live off the land.”

Threat actors exploited a novel attack method in the recent Okta HAR compromise, where they targeted an identity provider (IdP) with the intent to exploit its customer organizations. In addition to Okta being compromised, this compromise successfully targeted several Okta customer organizations.

Learn step-by-step how this identity-centric breach occurred, the common attacker tactics, techniques, as well as procedures, and why managing your SaaS identity security without SaaS security posture management (SSPM) places organizations at risk for compromise and data loss. 

In this webinar, presented by AppOmni, we’ll discuss:
• The common attacker tactics used in the Okta HAR breach
• Why proactively securing and continuously monitoring the SaaS attack surface and ensuring appropriate security configurations of an Okta instance is essential
• How SSPM conducts event monitoring to detect anomalous activity from a customer’s Okta instance, including being able to detect and alert on rogue IdP registrations

Okta Compromise in Focus: How to Safeguard SaaS Identities with SSPM
