One of the biggest challenges in SaaS security is a lack of consistency. Each platform has its own unique settings for security, logging and data protection. For large organizations managing hundreds or even thousands of #SaaS platforms, this inconsistency becomes a maze of mismatched controls, often leaving critical gaps unnoticed. To help address this, GuidePoint Security has teamed up with the Cloud Security Alliance, MongoDB and industry experts around the globe to develop a new SaaS security framework. This standard is designed to minimize blind spots, enable faster threat detection and reduce complexity for your security team. Learn more: https://okt.to/JLAbUS
