The 2022 SaaS Security Survey Report by the Cloud Security Alliance highlights key findings on SaaS misconfigurations and their impact on security incidents. The survey found that SaaS misconfigurations are leading to security incidents, with lack of visibility and too many departments with access being the leading causes. The report also found that investment in business-critical SaaS applications is outpacing SaaS security tools and staff, and manual detection and remediation of SaaS misconfigurations is leaving organizations exposed. The use of an SSPM (SaaS Security Policy Management) tool is shown to reduce the timeline to detect and remediate SaaS misconfigurations. The report also provides information on the use of SaaS applications in organizations and the current state of SaaS security assessment and tools.
