Is SaaS adoption making life easier for cybercriminals? [Q&A]

SaaS applications have transformed the attack surface by shifting critical business processes and identity management to the cloud, expanding the potential entry points for cybercriminals. Attackers exploit this by using techniques like phishing, credential stuffing, session hijacking, and BEC to breach SaaS environments, bypassing traditional perimeter-based security controls. To counter these threats, organizations need a comprehensive security strategy that addresses device-to-cloud connectivity and application security, moving beyond current perimeter-focused measures to implement Zero Trust principles for enhanced protection.
