SaaS Adoption vs. Security: Building a Future-Proof Foundation

Webinar

As organizations accelerate SaaS and AI adoption, security leaders face increasing pressure to balance pace of adoption with security controls. Each new application, identity, and third-party integration expands the attack surface and increases exposure risk.
These modern SaaS environments demand more than basic visibility. Without consistent governance, it becomes harder to enforce policy, manage risk, and prevent small issues from becoming larger incidents.

Join us for an interactive discussion focused on the critical capabilities every organization needs to build a secure foundation for business critical SaaS Apps while balancing adoption pace with security.

What You'll Learn

  1. The current state of SaaS adoption & security risk
  2. What modern teams need beyond visibility to improve SaaS security outcomes
  3. Top pillars to build future ready secure SaaS environments while empowering Innovation
  4. Ideal SaaS Security Partner: Key functionalities to maximize your team's effectiveness

Full Transcript Scott Bekker Hello, and welcome to SaaS Adoption versus Security, Building a Future Proof Foundation. Today's webinar is sponsored by Zscaler and produced by Actual Tech Media. My name is Scott Becker with Actual Tech, and I'm excited to be your moderator for this, webinar. So we've got a lot to cover today. Can't wait to get started. But first, I do wanna go over a few housekeeping details that are gonna help you get the most out of this session. So first off, let's look at some of the tabs over on the right hand side. So the, the one that's open by default is the chat tab, over on your right. A lot of you have been saying hello in there. It's great to see. Patrick, thanks for the thanks for the greeting. Good morning, yeah, everybody from, or from Colorado, Wisconsin, from KC. We got people from Oregon, California, Columbia, Maryland, Atlanta, Arkansas, Bethlehem, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Moore, California, New Jersey, Mississippi, Texas. I'm, I'm over here in Maryland, and, and, well, it's a… It's an okay day. I I hope your weather's a little a little sunnier and and, warmer. But, anyway, happy Friday, everybody. So that's the chat tab. Keep those hellos coming. We'd love to see that, but, also, you know, you know, feel free to chime in on the on the presentation, give our give our presenters some some reactions or or your thoughts, and, you know, insights, you know, that have that have occurred, to you, whatever you're excited about there in the in the, in the chat tab. The chat tab is also where you can go if you need to reach out to the actual tech media team in the unlikely event that you have any technical issues during the session. Browser refresh, fixes a lot of things like that. Another thing to try is that light mode option at the bottom of your screen. But, if if neither one of those fixes a problem for you, my colleague, Deanna, and I are standing by to help you out. We'll be monitoring that chat for any issues that you might have. Now the absolute best way to dive in the information we're gonna explore today is by asking your questions. So that's two hops over there in the in the tabs. There's a q and a tab. And, and that's the spot that, that our presenters are gonna be looking at during the q and a portion. And so, you know, if you've got questions for them, drop them in there. If they don't get to your question, don't worry. All the questions that you ask were gonna be passed along to the Zscaler team, for follow-up as well. Now one other stop on our console tour today is the docs tab. We've got some great stuff to go along with the webinar. So you can click around in there and explore. There's there's a product tour covering unified SaaS security. There's a data security workshop for, for data at rest. There's also a link to request a Zscaler demo. So, be be sure to, to open up those tabs and check those out. Also, be aware that we have closed captioning available of 18 languages. If you hover over the lower part of your screen, you'll see that CC option as well as the drop down menu for languages. And finally, you may have noticed the prize icon. We are, in fact, giving away an Amazon gift card worth $250 as a prize drawing at the end of our webinar. Great way to start the weekend for somebody. Of course, you must be in attendance for the duration of the live event to qualify for the prize, and you've gotta meet the actual Tech Media prize terms and conditions, which you can find in the docs tab as well. Okay. One other piece of, you know, in those tabs on the right, I'm gonna open up a poll. So, just to get us started, and, and this is gonna help help us tailor this event to, to your needs. So the the poll is is actually popped up in those tabs. It's a new tab now between, chat and docs. And and what that one is is what concerns you most about SaaS security? The options are shadow AI and SaaS apps for all, identity and access management vulnerabilities, misconfiguration and human error, third party app connections and API abuse, data exfiltration and leakage, global compliance. And if, you know, so, leave that open, for you guys to vote on. Again, it's just gonna help our our speakers, tailor about to, to what you guys need. Okay. With that housekeeping out of the way, it's it's time to introduce our expert speakers today. We've got, well, actually, I'm just gonna turn things over to Neil, to to have him tell tell, tell you guys a little bit about himself, and about Ashutosh. So, here we go. Video My name is Neil Patel. I am director of product marketing here in the data protection group at Zscaler. Today, I'm joined by Ashdash Thakur, who's our senior director of product management at Zscaler as well. So I'll start off by walking through the SaaS security landscape and why the problem is becoming, way more urgent. And then, Ash will then take us through… Deeper through the product approach of how Zscaler SSPM is sort of helping organizations reduce SaaS and AI risk. And at the end, we'll leave us some time for questions. Let's get started. So let's talk a bit about the state of SaaS adoption. So SaaS adoption has changed dramatically in the past. You know, most applications were centrally purchased, you know, easier to track, and supported mostly through human led workflows. But today, the adoption is much more decentralized across teams, departments, individuals, users, etcetera. These SaaS apps are also more connected to each other, and, you know, AI powered workflows are becoming just part of everyday business. So that creates way more speed, and productivity, but it also creates a lot more complexity. And the goal now is to really help the business move fast, but also stay secure, and that's been the challenge for most organizations. So modern SaaS environments aren't just, larger. They're just way more dynamic and harder to control. Right? So the risk now extends beyond just simple misconfigurations of these SaaS apps. I think security teams also have to think about, you know, shadow apps, SaaS, AI tools now that are coming online, third party apps, you know, OAuth grants, browser extensions, or even, NHI or nonhuman identities. Right? The agentics. And the hard part is knowing which apps are in use, you know, how they're configured, you know, who or what has access, and, ultimately, where that sensitive data that they're accessing may be exposed. And, you know, point in time reviews, you know, manual processes just can't keep up with that level of change that we're seeing in the environment. So some of these examples that I'm showing here show you how SaaS security gaps can turn into real business impact. You know, so, you know, attackers are taking advantage of, you know, weak configurations, inconsistent MFA, you know, account takeover, even stolen API credentials, or even, like, third party access paths. Right? And the breach path can often start outside of these traditional areas of infrastructure security that was built to protect originally, like firewalls, etcetera. And, you know, SaaS connects users, data, other apps, you know, identities, integrations, and, you know, third parties that we talked about earlier, which all makes it a high value attack surface and target. So, you know, security team just really need more continuous visibility control inside these environments and not just around them, right, that we're all used to. So there are five reasons why SaaS security needs a sort of a different approach here. Right? So one is that traditional tools struggle to see and govern the full SaaS estate, so the complete visibility control that we're, that we talked about earlier. Two, shadow SaaS and AI usage are growing super quick. I think that's been a proliferation that we're dealing with today and into the future. Third, compliance pressure is increasing on SaaS environments, and it's constantly changing, right, depending on, you know, which EOS you do business in, etcetera. I think, four, you know, breach costs and response delays continue to rise. I think it's been harder and harder to understand, the breach impact, but also the source of the breach and responding to that, in a timely manner. And, you know, fifth is, you know, prevention and response just both need to improve, right, due to compliance issues, but also due to business reasons as well. And, you know, organizations just need a more of a continuous way to discover, assess, and prioritize, and remediate the SaaS risk that is, growing continuously. K. So, you know, most tools, that we have in the ecosystem solve only part of the SaaS security problem. I think if we… Oh, let's just take CASB as our first example. Right? CASB helps with access control and data movement. Right? But it does not provide the deep SaaS posture and integration context that we're looking for. IT ITDR tools help with identity threats, but they do not fully cover the configuration side of SaaS. Right? OAuth grants or, you know, app to app risk. CSPM as of late, right, Cloud security posture management, focuses a lot on cloud infrastructure and not really traditional SaaS applications. So there's a gap there. And, you know, legacy SSPM can identify misconfigurations, pretty accurately and and at scale, but often lack the broader context around data, identity, workflow, and, more so their mediation context that needs to happen. Right? So the gap is, again, the unified visibility and actionability across the SaaS surface risk or surface, that we all need. Right? So with that said, I'm gonna hand it over to Ash, and he's gonna kinda walk you through how Zscaler is helping our customers sort of address all these challenges that we're seeing. Ash, you wanna take it away? We've thrown some, scary statistics at you. So we're going to look at how, leading organizations are actually, you know, regaining this visibility and control over, SaaS. So, we are starting at the, you know, if you just build a slide out, we're starting at the 30,000 of, foot level, where we are looking at the… I would… I call this the ultimate security masterpiece. Right? This is zero trust, AI. This is, you know, agentic sec ops, which honestly sounds like, you know, tactical squad in, like, suits. But let's demystify this. Right? The core philosophy here is simple. We trust absolutely nobody, not your devices, not your users, not your remote offices, not even those, you know, helpful AI agents. And, we'll… Today, we're gonna focus on the data security technology, within our zero trust track. Next. So when looking at, enterprise, risk today, the organizations, you know, they cannot afford to manage security in silos. Our platform brings continuous risk discovery and, inline protection, and deep intelligence into one architecture. And this is, where we are showing you on the left hand side, we are focusing on, finding and, remediating. This is where we are continuously discovering and protecting your entire, your your entire data universe using data security posture management, and SaaS security posture management. These capabilities allow teams to, mitigate your SaaS and supply chain risks before they turn into breaches. On the right hand side, we shift from posture to execution with, protect data in real time. So this covers, you know, enterprise grade, DLP across web, across email, Jenaya applications. And this is real time control over data exfiltration. It also includes, you know, endpoint, DLP. So this gives you complete inventory and regulation, at the device level. Underneath that is, our unified, data intelligence. We use AI classification that tells us what the data is. We use an AI access graph that tells you who is touching that data. And then with workflow automation, we tell you what to do about that data. So instead of having five, six different, you know, security products, all arguing about whose problem it really is, we are trying to get them all to to work together. K. So, we know we we know that, you know, there are… Many of you have already had agents deployed across your user user devices, you know, and and agents are fantastic for real time, in line, you know, and endpoint protection. But we also know that an agent, it cannot see everything. What happens when a user accesses a corporate SaaS app from a personal tablet or, you know, a partner's unmanaged device or, my LG smart TV? That is where our direct cloud API hooks and agentless solution come into play. So it, steps in to secure the out of band use cases, and, it gives you that three sixty degree coverage. The best part is that we meet you exactly where you are. If you want a robust hybrid approach using both agents and API hooks, we have you covered. But if your organization's goal is to be entirely lightweight, with a stand alone 100% agentless solution, you can deploy it, that way on on day one. In addition, we've have features like, you know, automated remediation and tombstoning. You know, the platform cleans up the shared risks in the background. I love the word, the tombstoning. It's like this, tiny digital gravestone that says, here is your unauthorized file. Right? Midwestern peace. And then, finally, we are continuously auditing your SaaS tenant configurations. So this is against industry compliances, compliance frameworks like, CIS, like SOC two, like ISO. And, we have scanning for any drift detection, which I'll talk about, a little bit more. So let's talk about, you know, the, main, targets. So CRM, ITSM, collaboration, and, you know, Gen AI, and, Gen AI governance. Right? So there are a lot more categories, but I I just… You know, for lack of time, I just chose, these, big ones. Right? There is also source code, categories, which we are securing. But let's look at, you know, what, what is happening within these, within these applications or these categories. Right? So for example, Jira. Jira tickets, you know, someone's, you know, password is just chilling there with… In plain text, in Salesforce, you know, attachments. Somehow they include the entire, you know, customer database, ServiceNow. You know, in in those in those fields, you may have an agent that has typed out, a customer's Social Security number, like it's a pizza order. And, you have chat… GPD enterprise where your engineer is, you know, pasting away proprietary code and asking the AI to make it better. So we catch all of that. Alright? We are looking at, all of this information, and we are look… We are we are trying to understand. So find in Jira, for example, if a if a developer accidentally pays AWS root credentials, we will, you know, restrict that ticket so that it doesn't, you know, get exposed. With Salesforce, if there are sensitive, information in there, maybe they drop sensitive in in chatter feeds because it was easier, or in ServiceNow if they are, you know, dumping their, you know, their, come… All the IT complaints, that's that's again where we are scrubbing that data before it stays there forever. And then for GenAI, as I as I was saying, if they're if they're copying pasting your, you know, q four strategy and say, hey. Make this, sound more engaging or or entertaining. I don't know. Then we keep those, you know, crown jewels from from training those public models. And finally, in collaboration apps like Teams, Slack, Zoom, in this case, we address, you know, blind spots where, created with these modern AI assistants. So for example, we can scan and sanitize, recorded meeting audio transcripts, meeting chat files, and then we can also evaluate, the AI summaries for any trade secrets. Next. So the enterprise SaaS, you know, marketplace, it's the mall, you know, nobody warned you about. If you look at, you know, you have Salesforce AppExchange. You have the Microsoft, you know, AppSource. You have Google, marketplace, Slack, and GitHub add ons. Every one of them is offering a little app that just needs permission to read your email, export your pipeline, and, you know, maybe access your entire drive. So these are exposing, a lot of risks, these third party applications. What are those? Let's look at it in the next slide. So if you, remember that calendar widget that you installed three years ago, it still has full access to your Google Drive. That's not a a feature that's, you know, that's like a ghost just lying around over there. And then you've got, you know, Salesforce tokens. Bunch of, tokens lying around, being, being misused. And then finally, there is, you know, supply chain hijacking where attackers, they are, like, sneaking in. So let me let me put this, you know, imagine that you have a house with, a $10,000 vault door. You have state of the art security cameras, and you even have laser trip wires. That's Microsoft. That's Google. That's Salesforce. The hackers aren't going to try to break through that door. Instead, they look at that, you know, that cat door you installed in the back. That cat door is your, hey. You know, Neil from marketing, I'm gonna pick on him, decided to add, cute font converter or even, you know, maybe a code generator into Slack. And, that is, you know, that third party application that has excessive, permissions. So let's, let's look at, you know, let's talk about an actual, breach that that that happened. Right? This was, a single compromised chatbot vendor. It, it basically got, compromised, and it turned into a breach across hundreds of companies. It was basically in in Salesforce, the SalesLoft GitHub environment account. This is a third party application within the Salesforce, AppExchange. They were able to connect their OAuth token into Salesforce. But, attackers detected this particular OAuth token. They stole a large, number of those. And, Drift, which is, you know, a marketing chatbot, which is again sold on the AppExchange, it it used it to connect into the customer's Salesforce organizations. So they use these tokens to con… To con… To, connect into Salesforce. And you'd… You know, there's no password, no MFA. This is a trusted token. And then they ran queries to pull data, and they comb through support tickets for AWS keys and Snowflake tokens and and VPN credentials and so on and so forth. So these are, you know, a consolidated risk. Right? Overprivileged scope, tokens being used, and then your app, which is the weakest link is is, was, was basically hijacked. So next slide. So this is, you know, this is, our solution, SaaS security posture management. This is, you know, on the left hand side, you'll see again all the SaaS holding. Like, all of you have all these beautiful logos, Zoom, Slack, Confluence, Workday. So how do you put your arms around this? Right? How do you put some guardrails and controls? So step one is discover these SaaS, estates. So it's it's, identifying, which, you know, which apps are being used, inventory of the users, the tokens, profiling, the apps, for, the permissions they're using, so on and so forth. Step two is, you know, the SaaS risk context. So look at that dial in the center. So risk score of 8.2, based on… That's based on, you know, app posture. That's based on access, content. That's based on third party risk. And, finally, the the reduced exposure. Right? The the whole idea is to make sure that you're reducing that SaaS risk. You're controlling the third party applications, and then you're fixing any misconfigurations, in there. So for example, misconfiguration Salesforce could have been, make sure that the OAuth token is rotated, or make sure that when you are using, allowing an OAuth token, it is always from a restricted IP address. So these are certain settings or misconfigurations that, we can configure to prevent, such breaches that I mentioned. To wrap things up, how do we actually roll this out without, you know, triggering a company wide riot? Right? So we have a a three step journey here, mapping and planning. This is where you sit in the conference room, you drink your fantastic coffee, and, you know, you chalk out, what, you know, on a whiteboard, like, what are the steps, to take take? What are the, what are the existing ecosystems, the tools and process you're using? And then you can identify who you're going to blame if things go wrong, and they are known as identifying those key stake… Stakeholders. In step two, it's the execution. So we'll, we, run a, you know, tiny pilot with limited number of applications. And we should choose applications that won't break the entire company's, you know, payroll if accidentally… If there is, if it goes offline for a few minutes or so. So you review the logs, and then you obviously adjust. And then step three is, obviously selecting the right, SSPM vendor. So when you bring in a Zscaler SSPM, you can show, you know, the finance team that, hey. That the terrifying risk dial of 8.2, which I just spoke… Which, we spoke about, that is where, you know, your your budget gets approved. That's where you say, hey. Look at, you can turn it on. In fact, when we turned it on within Zscaler, we found 3,700 applications that are connecting in to Zscaler, of which 60% were dormant. And, you know, just like that, you you… We were able to identify and then secure, comply, and then make sure that, we can run through the next audit without a hitch. So this is actually, my favorite slide of the day, proven outcomes. Because up till now, you might be thinking, sure, you know, this all is fancy, slide where, you know, that's all, tech magic. But what is a real life customer success story? So in this case, we actually have a a client which is in, defense and public services sector. So they're dealing with, electronics, test equipment, aerospace and broadcasting. So their number one, challenge was shadow IT and data oversharing. So, yeah, even even these rocket scientists and defense engineers are secretly, you know, bypassing IT to download all these, PDF converters, that they found on Google. So you want to identify that, hey. Are they sharing, you know, sensitive blueprint files via public links? Because, that is obviously a a cause of concern. And, so what did Zscaler do? We basically, provided the ability to prevent this accidental broadcast of missile telemetry, for example, to the public Internet. We implemented a system of least privilege where you only get access to what you absolutely need. If you're a rocket mechanic, you don't need access to the corporate HR payroll. So you can say, hey. Remove these collaborators. Remove, external sharing. You can say only share with these internal collaborators, so on and so forth. And we simplify the architecture. Right? We, instead instead of having multiple tools, you have one Zscaler platform for both inline and, out of band. So the agent and agentless solution. So the moral of the story is that, hey. We can secure, any high stakes, in this case, you know, aero, aerospace defense, powerhouse. If… So if we can secure that, we can definitely secure your marketing, department's Pinterest boards and so on and so forth. Alright. Next slide. Awesome. Thanks, Ash. So that wraps up our content for today. Would love to get into q and a now, and I think there are a handful of questions that we got on the, the forum. So why don't we dive into that? So the first question that we got, and I can take this one, Ash, is that can we say that modern DSPM is the new evolution of SaaS security? Good question. I know we flashed a slide on our on our architecture and how we're combining, you know, all elements across the data security stack inclusive of SSPM and SaaS security. But I'd say this is not exactly that so. I would not position DSPM as sort of a replacement for SaaS security or SSPM. They both have, fundamental strengths in and of themselves. I think DSPM is more of a data centric sort of evolution of… That complement SaaS security and cloud security that we talked about. You know, traditional SaaS security focuses a lot on, you know, apps, configurations, identities, permissions, integrations, things that Ash talked about earlier. But DSPM sort… Sort of shifts that focus, right, to the data, the context of the data, wherever it lives across the environments, whether it be SaaS apps or even, you know, IS or even, you know, data clouds, etcetera. Right? So we wanna understand with DSPM, where it sends the data lives, who has got access to it, how it's being used and shared, activity around that data, regulatory requirements, and even where the exposure sort of creates business for us is what kinda we all care about. So the real value is DSPM context feeds into the broader security stack so that teams can prioritize and enforce right controls. And then SSPM layers and the other things that we talked about today around configuration, you know, access, usage, etcetera. Okay. Next question. Ash, I'll throw this one to you. So the next question is, many enterprise suites include native SSPM features. For instance, Defender for Microsoft, for cloud apps, includes SSPM capabilities at no extra cost. So why does an organization need a specific SaaS security slash SSPM vendor? First of all, it's definitely not, extra cost. There is no free lunch. So, definitely, there's some cost in there. This is just bundled in. And, we've seen that, you know, if you lower the bundles, you'll definitely get, you'll you'll you'll you'll save a lot of money. And, if you think about it, let me ask you this. Is Microsoft, Salesforce competitor? Is Microsoft ServiceNow's competitor? Is Microsoft Jira's or Workday's competitor? Any application. So the… What I'm leading is that, these, you know, tools, Microsoft tools, they offer strong security within their own ecosystem. But, when it comes to non Microsoft, it's it's difficult because they're competitors. And that's where, you know, stand alone security vendors like us, which do not have a skin in the game in in these, in these areas, we have better integration. In addition, think about it as a platform. Right? As a platform, you want to have, all of your, you know, policy engines where you configure it once and then apply it to the rest. So that's where, we can correlate. We can, take the information from CASB, feed it into SaaS security posture management. Take the information from CASB, feed it into inline enforcement. Because we own all of that, products, it's, definitely, more, flexible to apply to use cases and give you more visibility into your environment. Awesome. Thanks for that. So next question that we got was where does SSPM fit into the security stack? So, yeah, you know, SSPM or, you know, SaaS security here sort of complements your existing tools. Right? We talked about I'm CASB, you know, SIEM, SOAR, ITDR tools, etcetera. All those have value in a in a… In and of of themselves, but, I think SSPM plays a critical role in it in itself. So, you know, I'm right right right, we're talking about managing users and access. CASB is all about, you know, governing access, and data movement for SaaS. I think, SIEM and SOAR tools, again, you know, helping direct for detection and learning and response for flows and integrations with other other, security tools and ecosystem. But specifically with SaaS and SSPM, you know, we wanna fill this specific gap, right, around continuous SaaS posture, identity, permission integration, and compliance visibility. And we talked about… So kind of what what Ash showed you around the the diagram workflow from left to right. And, you know, what we wanna do is ultimately we wanna improve your SaaS posture and help help that, you know, answer questions like, you know, are your… All your SaaS apps configured correctly. Right? Is there any misconfigurations that we should highlight that, you know, poses risks? You know, which users or identities are overprivileged to certain applications, right, that we don't want? You know, which you know, third party apps or OAuth grants create risk, right, things that we did not authorize. And then where are we drifting from policy or compliance requirements? I think that's a big thing that we wanna continue… Continually be on the pulse of compliance, right, at all times. So SSPM becomes sort of a… Kind of a control layer for SaaS that feeds sort of better context into the rest of the, the security stack that you have. So okay. So time for one more question, and, let's go with this one, Ash, and throw it back to you. So we are currently evaluating SSPM. So in all, you know, what should we look for in an ideal SSPM solution? Yeah. So, it differs, you know, from organization to organization. But, in general, you look for features like continuous posture monitoring, you know, misconfigure, configuration detection. You look for, you know, you know, identifying the, identity mapping, whether it is a, HI or NHI. So it is, human identities or nonhuman identities. And then, just the visibility and remediation in third party or, integrations that I spoke about, you know, shutting those dangerous, app to app, vendors. I think that that's, that's key. And, finally, you know, most importantly, should avoid, you know, isolated point products, because, if you, choose a solution that is natively unified with your CASB, with your DLP, you you get, you know, you get to secure your data at rest, in transit and in configuration. Awesome. So that wraps up today's session. Love to thank you guys for joining. Please, I encourage you guys to take a snapshot of these, QR codes if you're interested in learning more, about our specific solution, and then more about Zscaler as well. Feel free to take a snapshot of that. With with that said, thank you again for joining, and have a great rest of your day. My name is Neil Patel.
