Save the date: SD ISSA August 25th - Cybersecurity Summit at Ballast Point - Miramar

Topic:

SaaS Security Checklist – Best Practices for CISOs and Security Professionals

Overview:

Implementing SaaS is a core component of digital transformation, the integration of digital technologies into how a company operates to help them become more agile, respond to the market faster, and reduce costs.  The transformation touches nearly every aspect of IT, from the network infrastructure to the applications used by employees daily.  One notable difference from technology transformations of the past is that much of the transformation is business-led and not dictated by IT or security teams.
