Securing Unstructured Data in the SaaS Labyrinth
The exponential growth in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in the last decade has resulted in huge business efficiencies. SaaS allows companies to focus on their core business, rather than expending precious resources on software maintenance and upgrades. These cloud-based platforms can also scale quickly and efficiently. The velocity of SaaS adoption increased even more in 2020, when business continuity became the main imperative.
Despite their numerous advantages, SaaS solutions can come with deep security challenges, particularly in terms of the visibility of unstructured data within enterprises. Unstructured data covers a huge range of document types. It can include everything from project plans to confidential customer information. Keeping this data secure is a vital part of responsible information stewardship in any reputable organization.
All too often, staff need to switch to a third-party file-sharing solution outside of their primary SaaS platform to collaborate on content. This costs enterprises valuable resources and expands their threat surfaces.
