In the constantly shifting realm of cybersecurity, maintaining a proactive stance against threats is of utmost importance. With the ascent of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications and the proliferation of complex cloud environments, the paradigm of security has undergone a substantial metamorphosis. Conventional security instruments that once demonstrated effectiveness in a bygone era are presently encountering challenges in keeping pace with the dynamic landscape of SaaS security. In this article, we will delve into the difficulties presented by the reliance on outdated security tools within the domain of SaaS security and the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
Presently, one of the most prevalent pathways for exploitation revolves around the mishandling of configurations within an organization’s Software as a Service (SaaS) applications.
For those entrenched in the Information Technology domain, you may already be acquainted with the following scenario: an administrator responsible for a business-critical SaaS application designating each and every user as an administrator. Alternatively, these administrators might wield their administrative privileges to deactivate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), citing its perceived inconvenience and disruption to the workflow.

SaaS applications have revolutionized the way businesses operate, offering convenience, scalability, and accessibility. However, this shift to cloud-based services has also introduced new security challenges. Many legacy security tools were designed for on-premises environments and struggle to cope with the unique characteristics of SaaS security:
