Corey O’Connor is the Director of Product Marketing at DoControl, with over a decade of experience as a Product Marketing leader in the enterprise software market. Prior to joining DoControl, Corey held multiple leadership positions at CyberArk and Dell EMC, where he was responsible for the Go-to-Market strategy and execution of multiple enterprise software solutions in the cloud computing, storage and security markets.
DoControl was recently included in both the Gartner® 2022 Hype Cycles™ for Workload and for Network Security and Application Security. We at DoControl are thrilled to be named as a Sample Vendor in both of these publications.
Today, there is a notable shortage in cybersecurity professionals to support the complexity of modern security programs. Technology providers need to do more. The DoControl No-Code SaaS Security Platform will help ensure the success of your security team, and enable them to free up time and resources to focus on the strategic initiatives that are critical to your business.
Today, SaaS applications are one of the most preferred methods to share data – both sensitive or otherwise. It's imperative that security teams monitor and control access, as well as automatically remediate the loss, leakage, and misuse of sensitive company data. Move your Zero Trust Architecture to the next level and extend least privilege to the SaaS application data layer.
We are excited to announce our expansion of DoControl’s integrated technology partnership program to include Datadog. As a leading platform provider for monitoring and security for cloud applications, the integration with Datadog allows security operations teams to have a more holistic view of risk across the mission-critical Software as a Service (SaaS) applications being leveraged to enable business enablement and productivity.
When it comes to addressing insider risk, security starts within. Protecting sensitive company data from exfiltration and misuse requires a combination of the right people, process, and technology. Managing insider risk and preventing threats to the business is not achieved with any of these pillars individually. Modern businesses require technology that prevents and detects unauthorized access to critical assets; processes to support automated data access remediation; and people that are educated about – and watchful of – potentially risky activity who can course-correct during potentially risky activity. Modern organizations need all three pillars interconnected in order to protect their most critical assets.
DoControl is named as a Representative Vendor in 2022 Gartner® Market Guide for Insider Risk Management Solutions. Gartner recently published the market guide which assists in understanding and implementing a comprehensive insider risk management program. Gartner describes how “the increase in a hybrid or remote workforce, compounded with additional vendor integration, has prioritized insider risk management as a focus area for security and risk management leaders.”
In today’s hybrid work environment, SaaS security has never been more important. Understanding your existing risks is a critical step to choosing the right security tool, but few SaaS apps provide the visibility necessary to perform a proper assessment.
Since the dawn of man, security tools and technologies have always been perceived by the business as an obstacle. Instead of creating a more secure working environment, they often create frustration for most all users working within it. It goes without saying that every organization does what it can to be in the best position possible to mitigate the risk of a cyber breach or attack. But in doing so can create a tightrope walk of trying to move the business forward in a secure way. Walking that line is slow, and one slip could be detrimental to the business.
Remaining conscious of these top 10 risks and encouraging employees to take preventative measures is best practice for any organization; however, it’s incredibly complex to ensure adherence across every single SaaS application used by the business. DoControl provides a crucial tool in the form of a centralized dashboard for visibility into all end-user activity within SaaS applications, and customizable security workflows that allow for the implementation of consistent security policies across the entire SaaS estate.
Teasing out some of what’s reflected in Okta’s report only highlights the importance of centralizing the security of SaaS applications. The increased reliance on content collaboration apps requires increased security around them. The use of multi-vendor solutions that overlap require a consistent security strategy that scales in line with the growth and usage of these applications. If stop-gap measures are becoming longer term, then it's critical for organizations to reevaluate their security posture and ensure they have the necessary data access controls in place. Request a demo to see why more organizations are choosing to partner with DoControl to implement risk-based, future-proofed data access control workflows and policies.
Just as is with the cloud, securing SaaS is a shared responsibility. Providers are responsible for ensuring the security of their platforms, but there is an onus on the organization consuming the service to protect themselves from data overexposure and exfiltration, as well as cyber breaches and attacks.
In this blog we are going to focus on three of the most widely adopted SaaS applications, based on revenue and growth, as well as just general popularity. We will highlight the pitfalls and security gaps (note: these apps are not inherently insecure!), and how DoControl can help deliver a single, unified strategy to SaaS application security and reduce the risk of both data exfiltration and cyberattacks.
You can’t protect what you don’t know exists. If you lack the insight and visibility across all the different SaaS applications that are being utilized by both internal and external users and entities, then it is extremely challenging to get an accurate assessment or quantification of the risk that you are faced with.
