Understanding Your SaaS Responsibilities

Even though going to the cloud isn’t new, organizations often don’t know their responsibilities across various services. It doesn’t help that this changes based on what service they’re using, whether IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS.

David Cross, CISO, Oracle SaaS Cloud, broke down the responsibilities organizations still hold when using a SaaS solution. Organizations still need to manage identity when using SaaS, looking at logs and implementing secure ways of accessing SaaS apps. Data inside apps also falls within an organization’s purview. The first step to making sure you’re meeting your responsibilities is talking to your SaaS provider, and possibly looking to partner with an MSP.

Watch this video to make sure you’ve got your head around what you need to be doing to keep your SaaS apps secure.
