And with that context comes the exciting release of our new guide with Brian Soby, Chief Technology Officer & Co-Founder of AppOmni. This guide primarily addresses security for Software as a Service (SaaS) applications. We’ve developed this guide to better serve security and risk leaders. It is an incredibly useful resource for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and IT leaders to better assess the many complexities that come with their organizations’ SaaS ecosystems.
The guide focuses on identifying and mitigating hidden risks within SaaS applications, which have become critical components of modern business operations. With organizations adopting these layers and interfaces faster than they can vet vulnerabilities, knowing what’s out there is the first step in protecting sensitive data and balancing risk.

The guide provides actionable steps for organizations to evaluate their SaaS applications holistically.
