We’ll unpack the patterns that reduce authorization friction, common posture gaps that delay ATO, and the architectural decisions that make continuous monitoring sustainable. This is a practitioner-level conversation focused on what actually works — not just what the standard says.

FedRAMP for Secure Access Architects: Lessons from the Field

Recent high profile SaaS breaches have brought attention to SaaS as the new enterprise attack surface. For many organizations, SaaS is dangerously under-defended. Threat actors like UNC6040 (Scattered Spider) and UNC6395 (GRUB1) are actively exploiting SaaS users, misconfigurations, unmaintained third-party integrations, and gaps in monitoring to gain persistent access to business-critical SaaS platforms like Salesforce, ServiceNow, M365, and Okta. Traditional tools often miss these attacks entirely, leaving security teams blind to activity happening beyond the endpoint.

Join AppOmni’s security team for a deep dive into how leading security practitioners are rethinking SaaS security. We’ll unpack lessons from real-world incidents, explore how attackers are compromising organizations and share actionable strategies to reduce risk and improve visibility. 

You will learn:
How the attack surface has changed
Weaknesses in your SaaS estate that attackers are exploiting
TTPs being used by threat actors like UNC6040 (Scattered Spider)  and UNC6395 (GRUB1)
The proactive countermeasures that can disrupt these kill chains early
Detection and response strategies that are needed to stop attackers

Whether you’re in financial services, healthcare, high tech, retail, or government, this session will equip you with the mindset and methods to secure your SaaS estate.

Securing Your SaaS: How AppOmni Mitigates SaaS Risks and Protects Data

In the era of SaaS-first operations, the biggest risks are often the ones you don’t see until it’s too late. Data exposure in SaaS environments is rarely the result of a single failure. More often, it stems from a lack of visibility into configurations, access permissions, and third-party integrations that silently expand your attack surface.
In this 20-minute webinar, we’ll explore the most common causes of SaaS data exposure and how organizations can get ahead of them with greater context and control. We’ll cover:

Misconfigurations and Overexposure – How overly broad sharing settings and default configurations put sensitive data at risk.

Shadow SaaS and Third-Party Access – Why unmonitored integrations and forgotten apps are a growing blind spot.

Identity and Access Gaps – What happens when internal access isn't aligned with the principle of least privilege.

We’ll show how AppOmni provides the visibility and intelligence needed to identify risks before data is exposed. From automated policy enforcement to real-time monitoring of SaaS environments, learn how to close critical gaps and build a proactive data protection strategy.

Navigating SaaS Misconfigurations: Control Drift, Risk Less with AppOmni

What if the biggest threat to your data wasn’t a breach—but your own SaaS configurations?

In this fast-paced session, AppOmni experts pull back the curtain on how SaaS data exposure actually happens. Spoiler: attackers often don’t need to break in—the front door is wide open.

You’ll learn:

The front door is actually open – attackers don’t need to hack in when data is already exposed

SaaS apps evolve faster than your team can keep up – creating dangerous misconfigurations

Not just humans, but non-human identities – APIs, integrations, and service accounts are exposing your data

Each SaaS app is its own castle – different configs, different blind spots, same risk

If you're in security, IT, or risk, and you're tired of playing catch-up with your SaaS stack, this session will show you how to reduce exposure—without slowing down innovation.

Navigating SaaS Data Exposure | Embrace SaaS, Risk Less with AppOmni

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, the attack chain for SaaS applications is both condensed and faster than ever before. Cybercriminals are evolving, finding quicker, more efficient ways to breach your systems, and SaaS platforms are prime targets. In this 20-minute webinar, we’ll break down why SaaS attacks are different and some examples of what we are seeing and how to block them…things like:

Brute Force and Password Spraying – The first line of attack is often the simplest, but it’s still incredibly effective.

Bypassing SSE (Security Service Edge) – Hackers exploit gaps in security to bypass critical protections.

New Access and OAuth Exploits – Once inside, attackers move quickly to establish new access, often by exploiting OAuth vulnerabilities.

Exfiltration – The final step is data exfiltration, where sensitive information is stolen for profit or destruction.

Join us as we discuss how AppOmni can help mitigate risks across each stage of this attack chain, empowering organizations to better defend their SaaS applications from end to end. We’ll highlight strategies for detecting threats early, implementing proactive security measures, and securing your entire attack surface.

Turning SaaS Sprawl into Strategic Strength:Lessons with AppOmni & BluOcean Cyber

SaaS is powering your business. But is it also exposing it?

Despite record-high confidence in SaaS security, 75% of organizations experienced a SaaS-related incident last year—a 33% spike over 2024. Even more alarming? 89% of those breached thought they had “appropriate visibility” at the time.

This isn’t a gap. It’s a gulf between perception and protection.

Join AppOmni’s CMO Chandra Sekar and Chief Customer Officer Allan Kristensen, alongside moderator Chad Knipschild, as they unpack key findings from the 2025 State of SaaS Security Report—and what they mean for the year ahead.

In this fireside-style conversation, we’ll cover:
-AI as the new identity layer—why AI agents may be your next insider threat
-Confidence ≠ control—and why visibility without action is leaving teams exposed
-Why point-in-time audits are failing in environments that change daily and why continuous monitoring has become a SaaS security cornerstone.
-How fractured ownership leads to real-world risk—and what the best orgs do differently
-The 80/20 rule of SaaS risks—and why securing everything at once isn’t the answer

If your monitoring pauses while risk continues, if non-human identities are multiplying faster than your controls, if SaaS security is “everyone’s job” but no one’s responsibility—this session is your wake-up call.

Register now to get an insider look at the data—and early access to the full 2025 report.
