SaaS?
• SaaS stands for Software as a Service, a cloud-based service where instead of downloading software, applications can be accessed over the internet.
• TPRM, or Third-Party Risk Management, involves managing and controlling the potential risks and dangers posed by third parties to your organization.
Tips for Managing Third-Party Risks in SaaS
1. Have a Standardized Assessment Process: Review each third-party provider to assess security risks. An ad-hoc approach is about as effective as using Morse code in the age of emojis.
2. Regularly Monitor Your Provider’s Security: It’s not enough to review their security once. Like updating your LinkedIn status, it’s something you need to keep on top of.
3. Use Automation Where Possible: The technical equivalent of substituting a colander for a cheese grater; it just makes the job easier.
4. Be Proactive in Identifying Possible Threats: As with flossing, don’t wait for problems to come to you.
5. Create a Response Plan for Possible Security Breaches: The ’emergency exit’ approach to cyber threats. Because what good is a panic button if you don’t know where it is?
In summary, SaaS, or Software as a Service, is a cloud-based service that poses potential risks to an organization if not properly managed. Third-Party Risk Management seeks to control these dangers, but this can present challenges. Like trying to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle, managing third-party risks in SaaS is complex and requires constant vigilance.
To help with this, Wing Security recommends a standardized assessment process, ongoing monitoring, automation, proactive identification of threats, and a solid response plan. It’s essentially like doing a risk assessment for a trek up Everest. You wouldn’t head out without a map, Sherpa, and oxygen tanks would you? So, don’t let your organization venture into the world of SaaS without the right precautions to mitigate third-party risks.Original Article: https://thehackernews.com/2023/11/this-free-solution-provides-essential.html
