SaaS security automation : self-heal
As SaaS has grown, attack surfaces have widened, raising the risk of data breaches. In companies using SaaS, we’ve seen a 20-fold increase in the number of PII files they create. Cyber-criminals are well aware of this and are increasingly adept at finding back doors – whether it’s a flaw in the infrastructure or an unintentional misconfiguration.
SaaS applications enable collaboration and data sharing, which is crucial for improving employee and business productivity. Nonetheless, these apps transmit sensitive information, and employees are prone to making mistakes, such as leaving files open to the public without realizing it. The majority of employees are not security experts, so that scammers can take advantage of this. With the visibility challenge overcome and automation implemented, “self-healing security” will improve over time rather than degradation.
