TL;DR: Why Browser-Level Security Should Be Your New Compliance Backbone As SaaS adoption grows and work happens outside traditional perimeters, security and compliance blind spots multiplyโespecially at the browser layer. Legacy tools miss unmanaged apps, SSO bypass, and incomplete MFA. Browser-level visibility and control fill those gaps. With browser security for SaaS, you can: The […]
Cyber insurance has shifted from a “nice to have” to a boardroom imperative. As the frequency and severity of cyberattacks continue to rise, organizations across all industries are re-evaluating their risk postureโand insurers are doing the same. What was once a relatively straightforward underwriting process has evolved into a rigorous evaluation of your security program, […]
An Overlooked Risk in SaaS Security SaaS apps have become the backbone of modern business operations, with enterprises relying on platforms like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Zendesk to manage everything from communication to customer support. As organizations adopt more SaaS apps, managing access, security, and compliance across these platforms has become increasingly complex. While IT […]
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are high-stakes business transformations that demand precision, speed, and security. While IT and security leaders are focused on infrastructure and network integration, identity security remains one of the most overlooked aspects of the transitionโand that oversight can be costly. The recent Google acquisition of Wiz highlights how major technology deals can […]
How resilient is your identity security strategy? Once upon a time, the network was the perimeter. Firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and endpoint security were the front-line defenders. But today? Identity is the perimeter. Every login, every session, every permissionโthese are the new battlegrounds. If identity is the first and last line of defense, how […]
Three Tiers of SaaS Apps The number of apps an organization uses often exceeds what IT can fully manage and govern. Gartner estimates that the average organization now uses over 1,000 SaaS apps, with only a fraction of those integrated with their Identity Provider (IdP). This sprawling ecosystem can be categorized into a practical three-tier […]
The rise of DeepSeek is a clear signal for organizations to rethink how they approach data protection and governance in the age of AI technologies. DeepSeekโs sudden popularity has introduced significant data privacy risks, as sensitive information may inadvertently leave the enterpriseโs control. In fast-moving situations like this, where GenAI applications like DeepSeek gain traction […]
As we see evidence of time and again, threat actors donโt always hackโsometimes they simply log in. The PowerSchool breach is the latest example of how credential-based attacks are surging, putting organizations of every type at greater risk. A single weak password, an unmonitored app, or a misconfigured access policy can become the entry point […]
Imagine this: your security team spends hours investigating a flagged credential breach, only to find out the password has been changed, or the account has robust MFA in place, making it non-exploitable. Meanwhile, real threats linger unnoticed, buried in a sea of false positives. The reality is that relying solely on traditional threat intelligence tools […]
Identity takes center stage In 2024, identity solidified itself as the de facto security perimeter for modern enterprises. Yet blind spotsโlike SSO Bypass, misconfigured MFA, and credential hygieneโremain major issues that most organizations miss entirely. To stay ahead of breaches, we predict organizations will begin to tackle these gaps in 2025 in order to fortify […]
The Hidden Risks Lurking in App-to-App Connections As SaaS ecosystems grow, app-to-app connections have become the backbone of modern productivity, enabling seamless workflows and enhancing efficiency. However, with these benefits come unprecedented security challenges. Many organizations remain unaware of the risks posed by interconnected appsโparticularly when unmanaged or poorly configured connections expose sensitive data. Shadow […]

Now, cybercriminals have never had it easier. For a mere $200, they can purchase a […]
