The State of SaaS Security: Trends and Insights for 2025-26, commissioned by Valence in partnership with the Cloud Security Alliance, reveals a critical inflection point in SaaS security. While 86% of organizations now prioritize SaaS security with 76% increasing budgets, significant challenges persist that threaten enterprise security postures.

Survey data from 420 IT and security professionals highlights persistent visibility gaps, with 55% reporting employees adopt SaaS applications without security involvement. Identity management remains problematic, with 58% struggling to enforce proper privilege management and 46% citing challenges monitoring non-human identities. The expanding attack surface through GenAI tools and SaaS-to-SaaS integrations presents new vulnerabilities, with 56% of organizations concerned about overprivileged API access to sensitive data. 

This webinar will explore key insights from the report, including emerging threat vectors, effective mitigation strategies, and how organizations can evolve their security programs to match the complexity of modern SaaS environments.

As cloud adoption grows, managing identity access—especially for non-human identities (NHIs)—across multi-cloud environments is increasingly complex. Many organizations adopting Zero Trust focus on authentication but neglect what happens after login.

This webinar explores Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP), ensuring access is granted only when needed and revoked immediately after use. But Zero Trust is more than a technical challenge—it’s a cultural shift. By fostering a security-first mindset, organizations can integrate least privilege principles across all identities.

Key Takeaways:
• What Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) is and its role in Zero Trust security
• Step-by-step roadmap to implementing ZSP in IAM
• Proven strategies to build a Zero Trust culture across your organization
• Expert solutions to common ZSP adoption challenges

Join us for practical insights and real-world strategies to strengthen identity access management and accelerate your Zero Trust journey.

Building a Zero Trust Culture with Zero Standing Privileges in IAM

Identity security has traditionally been viewed as a critical yet limiting layer of defense—a necessary barrier against evolving cyber threats. But what if identity management could become more than a defensive perimeter? In this session, we'll explore how forward-thinking enterprises are leveraging non-human identities, as a catalyst for innovation, agility, and business acceleration. Join us to discover:
• How proactive identity strategies enable rapid adoption of emerging technologies, from generative AI to automated DevOps.
• Real-world examples where robust management of non-human identities empowered organizations to launch new services and solutions confidently and securely.
• Practical guidance on shifting your organization's perspective from seeing identity security solely as a risk mitigation tactic to embracing it as a strategic enabler of growth and innovation.
• Turn identity security into your organization's competitive advantage.

From Barrier to Catalyst: Transforming Identity Security into an Engine of Innovation

As businesses rapidly adopt cloud and SaaS technologies, the traditional model of centralized IT control has given way to business-led technology decisions. Rather than fighting this shift, forward-thinking security teams are embracing it by implementing unified visibility and intelligence across their expanding digital ecosystem. This session explores how modern access security and data-driven governance enables organizations to support business-driven innovation while maintaining security control.
