Why Your SaaS Security is as Flimsy as a Wet Noodle: A Guide to Modernizing TPRM
The MOVEit supply chain attack in June 2023 highlighted the urgent need for a dynamic approach to third-party risk management in the SaaS ecosystem. Organizations can no longer rely on outdated methods like static questionnaires. Embracing automation, real-time visibility, and smarter assessments is crucial to keep pace with evolving threats.
Hot Take:
In the world of SaaS, relying on outdated security questionnaires and SOC reports is like trying to stop a cyberattack with a fly swatter. The MOVEit attack is a wake-up call to ditch the security theater and embrace real-time, dynamic defenses. Time to swap the checklist for the chessboard—because cyber threats aren’t playing tic-tac-toe.
Key Points:
