The Annual SaaS Security Survey Report 2025 Plans and Priorities
Release Date: 06/03/2024
Working Group: Security as a Service
In 2024, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms are integral to most businesses. Unfortunately, inventive threat actors regularly breach SaaS applications from large organizations, underscoring the fragility of even the most secure systems. Against this backdrop of relentless SaaS threats, Adaptive Shield commissioned CSA to develop this survey and report. The goal of the report is to better understand the industry’s knowledge and opinions regarding SaaS application security.
Conducted in January 2024, the survey examined:
- How organizations prioritize SaaS security
- The tools used to secure SaaS applications
- The successes organizations are experiencing in their SaaS security efforts
- SaaS security risks that organizations still struggle to address
The subsequent report serves as a timely exploration into how security measures are evolving in the era of SaaS.
Key Findings:
- 70% of organizations have dedicated SaaS security teams
- 70% of organizations have moderate to full visibility into their SaaS applications
- 65% of organizations struggle with tracking and monitoring risks from third-party integrated apps and rectifying SaaS misconfigurations
- SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) users reported little difficulty with managing misconfigurations (56%), monitoring third-party applications (52%), and governing identity security (56%)
