Most modern organizations run on SaaS applications, and many use them to store sensitive data. The global SaaS market reached a total value of $206 billion in 2023, and is expected to climb to $247 billion by the end of 2024. Organizations must employ a complex system of practices to keep their SaaS apps secure and their data safe. Because SaaS apps are delivered through the cloud, they must be managed and secured differently than other types of software.

Managing an organization’s attack surface is a complex problem involving asset discovery, vulnerability analysis, and continuous monitoring. There are multiple well-defined solutions to secure the attack surface, such as extended detection and response (EDR or XDR), security information & event management (SIEM), and security orchestration, automation & response (SOAR); despite that, these tools often do not prioritize APIs.

Using multiple cloud service providers isn't all benefits, it has its challenges. Today, let's have a look at multicloud: What it is, what are the challenges, especially security challenges, and what are the best practices towards a secure multicloud architecture.

The Internet can feel like magic. When you load a webpage in your browser, many simultaneous requests for data fly back and forth to remote servers. Then, often in less than one second, a website appears. Many people know that DNS is used to look up a hostname, and resolve it to an IP address, but fewer understand how data flows from your home network to the network that controls the IP address of the web server.

Organizations are increasingly relying on open source software (OSS) to accelerate development and innovation. However, with great power comes great responsibility – and in this case, significant security risks. Enter the curated OSS catalog, a solution that ensures secure-by-default OSS usage. Let’s explore what a curated OSS catalog are and who stands to benefit from them.
