Many security practitioners take their eye off cloud and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security based on the faulty assumption that the providers are inherently secure. While most providers are, the cloud is so flexible and customizable that every organization might open different doors – ones that they’re responsible for closing. Ones that traditional security tools often overlook.

By the end of 2021, it was estimated that 99% of organizations would be using one or more SaaS solutions. With so many resources now in the cloud, it’s a complex responsibility to secure each one.
