Apps Gone Wild: Re-thinking App and Identity Security for SaaS – Guy Guzner – RSA24 #4
With hundreds or thousands of SaaS apps to secure with no traditional perimeter, Identity becomes the focal point for SaaS Security in the modern enterprise. Yet with Shadow IT, now recast as Business-Led IT, quickly becoming normal practice, it’s more complicated than trying to centralize all identities with an Identity Provider (IdP) for Single Sign-On (SSO). So the question becomes, “How do you enable the business while still providing security oversight and governance?”
