40% of all SaaS data is unmanaged, increasing insider and external threats
A new DoControl report, Quantifying the Immense Risk of Unmanaged SaaS Data Access, highlights how the vast amounts of unmanaged data in today’s enterprises have led to a growing number of insider and external threats to global organizations. With 40% of all SaaS assets unmanaged, there is a greater degree of internal, external and public access to sensitive data.
Sounil Yu, Chief Information Security Officer at JupiterOne, explains, “Unmanaged SaaS usage means that sensitive corporate data may proliferate to locations that were never intended to house that type of data. In addition, SaaS applications often integrate with other SaaS applications. If those integrations are also not managed, then organizations risk granting overly permissive and continuous access to their corporate data through multiple SaaS channels.”
