Recent attacks targeting Snowflake customers without enforced multi-factor authentication (MFA) demonstrate the consequences of weak SaaS application security. Identity sprawl, unmanaged accounts, and the absence of strong authentication controls like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) leave SaaS applications exploitable to attackers.
In many cases, organizations assume that by implementing an identity provider (IdP) such as Okta and Entra ID, their identities are secure, but they are left blind to potential local accounts, service accounts, etc. that are locally defined in the SaaS application itself.
In addition, many organizations don’t actually enforce MFA across all identities due to contractors, service accounts, shared accounts, and for various other reasons which require security teams to constantly monitor these exception groups.
With Valence, security teams gain a comprehensive view across all their SaaS identities to ensure strong authentication is properly enforced to increase identity security posture. The Valence platform correlates accounts across different SaaS applications to identify accounts that were configured locally and not through the centralized IdP or SSO or SAML. In addition, Valence’s in depth analysis of MFA and SSO settings detect gaps in strong authentication coverage due to lack of SSO enforcement within a SaaS application that allows local authentication or due to lack of strong MFA configuration within a standalone application. Valence helps organizations mitigate the risks associated with identity sprawl and weak authentication.
100% of organizations have failed to completely roll out MFA, leaving them vulnerable to attacks like credential stuffing and account takeover. The recent attack campaign on Snowflake customers, underscore the critical need for robust MFA enforcement.
