New Guide Explains How to Eliminate the Risk of Shadow SaaS and Protect Corporate Data

May 03, 2024SaaS Security / Browser Security
SaaS applications are dominating the corporate landscape. Their increased use enables organizations to push the boundaries of technology and business. At the same time, these applications also pose a new security risk that security leaders need to address, since the existing security stack does not enable complete control or comprehensive monitoring of their usage. LayerX has recently released a new guide, " Let There Be Light: Eliminating the Risk of Shadow SaaS " for security and IT teams, which addresses this gap. The guide explains the challenges of shadow SaaS, i.e., the use of unauthorized SaaS apps for work purposes, and suggests practices and controls that can mitigate them.

Consequently, the guide is a must-read for all security leaders at modern organizations. Here are the main highlights:
