Securing data and network as SaaS adoption grows

By Networks Asia Editors | Sep 28, 2011

The adoption of SaaS presents a major challenge for IT administrators, especially in managing access control. Adding to the problem is more people working from more places outside of the organization, and using more types of devices to access a wide range of apps and sensitive data.

To prevent the loss of sensitive data, IT administrators also need to revoke SaaS access rights in a timely fashion. They also need a single repository of user access reports for all SaaS applications in use in the organization. Having visibility into and documentation of each SaaS user’s access history can save valuable time in a forensic investigation following a data breach. It also helps to ensure that the organization is meeting the demands of compliance regulations that are designed to protect certain types of sensitive data, such as a customer’s social security number.

So, IT administrators are challenged to handle the following three activities critical to network and data security in a way that ensures the enterprise is protected:

• Managing user identity.
• Managing user access.
• Managing user credentials.
