How CISOs Adjust Security to the SaaS Transformation
The embrace of SaaS and operating in multi-cloud environments creates an expansive and dynamic attack surface, making it difficult for security teams to maintain visibility into and understand risk levels. And with the protection of sensitive data now a shared responsibility between security teams and providers, CISOs have additional considerations and challenges to address.
Join this us for a panel discussion with your infosec peers to explore:
- How SaaS impacts your security program posture and threat understanding
- Challenges to maintain visibility of your attack surface and monitor risk
- What you require from a cloud provider for data and infrastructure protection
