The last time the RSA Conference was a live, in-person event was right before the world as we knew it came to a screeching halt. Every technology vendor did their best to rollout “virtual” events which were in no way comparable to the real thing. Everyone – including all of us here at DoControl – was missing the “human connection.” As a vendor that was “born out of the pandemic,” we were very excited to (for the first time!) meet face-to-face with prospects, customers, peers, partners and more to talk about all things Software as a Service (SaaS) data security.
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.
On April 12th, GitHub announced they had uncovered evidence of an attacker abusing stolen OAuth user tokens to download data from dozens of their customers. The applications maintained by the compromised platform service providers, Heroku and Travis-CI, were used by GitHub users, which makes this breach a new addition to the growing list of recent attacks that utilized unauthorized access to target suppliers' systems.
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.

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.
