As adoption of enterprise software as a service (SaaS) grows, high-profile SaaS application data breaches are on the rise too. Organizations are responsible for the security of their data and must implement appropriate security settings for their environments. Yet the most widely used gateway architecture solutions lack visibility into the complex, unique characteristics of different SaaS applications. And keeping up with the ever-changing security configurations of each SaaS provider can be an overwhelming, time-consuming task. This work overload can result in user errors that cause cloud application security to fail.

Enterprises need a new approach that provides visibility into the security of their entire stack of SaaS applications and platforms. The ideal solution should leverage the latest controls and security features, without adding additional workload or requiring new in-house expertise. It must also offer a quick and simple path to remediation and integrate seamlessly with existing processes and technology.
