Users are no longer chained to their desks or the data center to conduct work anymore. They’re more mobile, collaborative, and flexible than ever. They leverage web-based apps, rich-media websites, and Software as a Service (SaaS) services to complete daily responsibilities and engage with customers. But while SaaS has made employees are more productive, it’s also made enterprises less secure.
A company’s attack surface is now unlimited and ubiquitous. The attack surface has transformed into everywhere that users log in from—whether it’s a remote office, their home, at a customer site, through public Wi-Fi, or while lounging at the beach. Attackers have taken notice. Menlo Security’s research has confirmed that SaaS services are increasingly being utilized to attack enterprises—essentially becoming the Trojan horse in the age of cloud computing.
