Most if not all organizations today are somewhere in their journey of using cloud technologies. The move to the cloud has accelerated since the onset of the global pandemic in early 2020. Cloud technologies and solutions provide cutting-edge technologies that most organizations would not otherwise have available with on-premises infrastructure. One of the leading cloud SaaS environments is Microsoft Office 365, now Microsoft 365.
Never before has there been a greater need for security solutions. Businesses today are threatened by an alarming number of threats. These threats come in the form of security vulnerabilities, zero-day attacks, and ransomware, to name a few. Cloud environments are not immune to the ever-growing threat landscape.
Businesses are heavily relying on cloud Software-as-a-Service environments for business-critical services and data. While cloud SaaS environments provide powerful solutions for businesses, securing cloud environments is becoming a primary concern. Many organizations are using dozens of cloud SaaS applications. Even though these provide compelling features and capabilities, they can introduce security vulnerabilities, often due to misconfiguration. SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) can help businesses to secure their SaaS applications.
Beginning in early 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic has totally changed the way organizations and their employees are doing work. With social distancing and other mandates, most businesses have shifted to a remote work layout for employees, allowing employees to carry out business-critical tasks remotely. To efficiently accomplish this and provide end-users with the resources they need to communicate, collaborate effectively, and access data, many businesses have migrated to cloud Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environments such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365).
