Reco is the leader in Dynamic SaaS Security — the only approach that eliminates the SaaS Security Gap (the growing gap between what you can protect and what’s outpacing your security). This gap is driven by SaaS Sprawl — the proliferation of apps, AI, and identities; the challenge of keeping their configurations secure amidst constant updates, and the challenge of finding threats hidden within an ever-growing number of events. Dynamic SaaS Security by Reco keeps pace with this sprawl, no matter how fast it evolves.

Economic headwinds are forcing difficult conversations across the C-suite, and security budgets aren't immune. As organizations scrutinize every line item, the hard questions are coming: If you had to cut your security budget by 30%, what tools would you keep? How do you choose between cutting personnel versus cutting technology? What's the difference between "essential" and "nice-to-have"?

But budget pressure also creates opportunity. Forward-thinking CISOs are learning to fight back. They’re advocating for security investments by tying them to business outcomes—and they're not afraid to use risk acceptance statements to make leadership own the consequences of budget cuts.

In this final session, our CISO panel tackles how to navigate these challenges, and emerge stronger. Plus, preparing for emerging threats from geopolitics to nanotechnology. Join the third and final talk in the series to learn how CISOs are preparing for the future.

Preparing for the Future

One CEO recently declared, "You can't justify headcount unless you can prove the job can't be done by AI." But while organizations race to implement AI solutions, security teams are grappling with a new reality: virtually every tool is an AI tool now. As SaaS vendors embrace AI, the security profile of vetted tools is changing. So, how can CISOs stay ahead?

In this critical session, our CISO panel addresses how to enable AI innovation without compromising security.

It's a new world we live in: If you're not leveraging AI, your competitors are—and they're moving faster. The question isn't whether to embrace AI, but how to do it securely. Learn how experienced CISOs are turning AI from a security challenge into a competitive advantage.

Enabling Secure AI Innovation

JPMorgan Chase's CISO just declared SaaS security the industry's most pressing challenge. And for good reason: business units are rapidly deploying SaaS apps without security oversight, leading to misconfigured deployments. What's more, SaaS ecosystems are increasingly interconnected. Data is sprawling into new environments – and being ingested by AI tools – making it harder to protect and contain. 

In the first of three executive sessions, “Why SaaS Security, Why Now?” our CISO panel tackles fundamental issues: How do you balance innovation enablement with risk management? What is driving the explosion of identity-related security incidents? And how must CISOs evolve to meet modern enterprise demands?

Register to watch the series “What CISOs Need to Know About SaaS Security and AI” now.

Why SaaS Security? Why Now?

The SaaS attack surface can no longer be ignored. As organizations increase their reliance on SaaS, they’re more vulnerable to misconfigurations,  identity governance issues, and data exposure. With SaaS ecosystems growing ever-more complex, AI-infused, and interconnected, the old way of monitoring a few core apps or sifting through event logs is no longer viable. Security approaches must evolve. This requires specialized tools and formal integration with your security operations.

If you’re looking to implement SaaS Security & Posture Management (SSPM), or improve on your current program, this webinar is for you. Learn from someone who’s already built a mature program! Join Aaron Ansari, CISO at Exela Pharma Sciences, for a deep dive into his SaaS security strategy. You’ll learn:

- How he integrated SSPM with his Security Operations Center (SOC)
- Tools he uses and how Reco helps him get arms around SaaS sprawl
- Tips for management, optimization, and driving adoption of the program
- What to know before you go to accelerate your implementation impact

We’re open sourcing intel on his entire stack, team roles & responsibilities, and day-to-day operations. Walk away with actionable strategies, as well as confidence, so you can be successful with SSPM and SaaS security too. Register today!

Integrating SSPM into Security Operations

One of the most pressing questions security leaders are asking today is, “Am I focused on the right stuff?” As organizations adopt more SaaS applications, generative AI tools, and AI copilots, the attack surface expands, increasing the risk of supply chain attacks, account compromises, and ransomware. With an ever-growing list of threats, it would be impossible for Security leaders to address everything—so how do you determine what truly matters?

Join our panel of experienced CISOs for a totally unscripted, no-nonsense discussion on what is driving their security strategies for 2025. Learn where they are focusing their time, energy, and resources—and what they’re deeming lower priority. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from top security professionals on what really matters. Register today.

CISO Roundtable: What Matters in 2025

Between malicious threat actors (cue data breaches and cyber attacks) and risk concentration of vendors within the technology landscape (cue cascading cyber incidents), having a resilient cybersecurity supply chain is more important than ever.

But first, you need to know and understand your cybersecurity supply chain.

Join Aleksandr Yampolskiy (CEO & Co-Founder, SecurityScorecard), Ofer Klein (CEO & Co-Founder, Reco), and Andrea Bailiff-Gush (Head of Marketing, Reco) for this webinar, where they’ll discuss:
- Best practices for detecting connected nth-party and shadow IT and securing them
- How to protect your organization with a holistic – inside-out and outside-in – cybersecurity approach
- Metrics that matter and promising solutions within the cybersecurity landscape

Breaches Beyond Borders: Securing Your SaaS Enterprise & Vendor Ecosystem

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.

Ways to Address Insider and 3rd Party Data Risk Across Your SaaS Applications

Most organizations have at least 3x more SaaS apps than they think they do, including GenAI tools.

For our speaker, it was closer to 5x.

The shadow SaaS crisis creates more attack vectors, more data exposure risk, and leads to the phenomenon of shadow data – business data that resides outside of the purview of security controls.

Buying a SaaS discovery tool is the first step in getting this under wraps. But, in the absence of the right tactics, you’ll make little impact.

Want to clean up your shadow SaaS risks fast? In this talk, our speaker goes beyond technical know-how and shares his experience being in the trenches figuring out how to solve this problem. Hell share:

• His journey managing nearly 1,000 shadow apps
• Five criteria to assess and prioritize shadow apps
• Creative ways to influence vendors to purge data
• How to use Reco to discover, rank, investigate, and remediate shadow SaaS risk

We'll close out with a live demo of Reco. Get ready for action! Register today.
