Shrink Your Attack Surface with Unified Vulnerability Management

In recent years, SaaS applications have become the go-to collaboration tools for businesses of all sizes. The agility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness they offer are undeniable advantages. However, this rapid shift to the cloud has also exposed organizations to a host of new SaaS security challenges. As more data and applications migrate to cloud environments, traditional security models are no longer sufficient. In the future, SaaS security will need Zero Trust. 

Zero Trust is a security framework that assumes that no one, whether inside or outside the organization, should be trusted by default. Instead, it requires continuous verification of identities and strict access control. In SaaS, this approach is essential, but to make it truly effective, it demands a comprehensive understanding of the connections and access points in your environment – in other words – total context across all infrastructure. This is why it’s impossible to achieve Zero Trust without context from SaaS. 

In this webinar, Ofer Klein, CEO and Co-founder of Reco, and Dr. Chase Cunningham, VP of Security Market Research at G2 and Zero Trust expert will provide guidance on how to secure SaaS applications within a Zero Trust strategy. They’ll discuss the challenges associated with securing SaaS apps and their access, the context provided by SaaS Security, how to implement SaaS security within Zero Trust, and measuring success.

Zero Trust and SaaS Security: Why Total Context Matters

Rethinking Least Privilege: Dynamic Strategies for an Over-Privileged Cloud

The global supply chain is vulnerable to cyberattacks due to its diverse and multifaceted aspects. Cybersecurity supply chain risk management guidance is essential for businesses to protect themselves, their partners, and their consumers. They must assess cybersecurity risks at all levels of their organization and consider the vulnerabilities of all players involved in creating a product or service, particularly in light of increasing incidences of cyberattacks carried on on supply chains. Threat Actors have shifted their tactics to compromise firms via their supply chains in an attempt to identify and exploit the weakest links, requiring organizations to reevaluate their cybersecurity approach accordingly.

Supply Chain Risk

What’s the definition of being Pwned? It’s a Slang. It’s derived from “owned,” which means to defeat or dominate, especially in a video or computer game.

The proliferation of cloud-based infrastructures has revolutionized the way organizations operate, offering unparalleled scalability, accessibility, and flexibility. However, alongside these benefits, the ever-evolving threat landscape presents a pressing challenge: the identification and prevention of anomalous lateral movement within cloud environments.

Attackers nowadays are looking for ways to own a cloud infrastructure so they can conduct various malicious activities ranging from hosting malware sites, crypto mining, data exfiltration, etc. They want to fly below the radar and continue the parasitic relationship with the business owners operating in public clouds.

The attackers know that if they create any suspicious activity, they may be caught and stopped, but imagine a situation where there are “No Red Flags” and everything seems to be normal and they continue their malicious intent. Most of the time, businesses don’t realize that. their public cloud infrastructure is compromised by using shadow access to their and they continue to pay for it. This is where every business needs to monitor if they have been continuously pwned or can be pwned to take corrective actions to fix it.
