Based on combined data from a third-party survey of 125 security leaders and the anonymized analysis of its own tenants, Valence’s 2024 State of SaaS Security Report provides insights into the risks surrounding distributed SaaS management, configuration complexity, sensitive data sharing, SaaS-to-SaaS integrations, emerging GenAI threats, and more. It also provides 10 recommendations to secure SaaS data today.
A peek into some key SaaS Risk findings:
58% of organizations experienced a SaaS security incident in the past year, despite high confidence levels in existing security programs, and SaaS security budget increases across organizations.
94% of external data shares in SaaS applications are inactive, highlighting the risk of unnecessary data exposure.
33% of third-party SaaS integrations—and the non-human identities that connect them—are granted access to sensitive data, making them an increasingly attractive target for attackers, and difficult to manage.
