Learn how 39% of companies are stepping up their defenses. [THE HACKER NEWS] [Annual SaaS Security Survey Report](   In an era where SaaS applications power a wide spectrum of industries and the threat of SaaS breaches looms large, SaaS security is on the radar of organizations more than ever.  In fact, today 70% percent have established dedicated SaaS security teams, despite economic uncertainty and job cuts. This trend was identified for the first time in the fourth [Annual SaaS Security Survey: 2025 CISO Plans and Priorities]( released this week by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and Adaptive Shield. The survey’s key findings include: - SaaS security dedicated teams are established. For the first time, the survey identified the existence of SaaS-specific security roles: 57% of respondents have a SaaS security team of at least two dedicated full-time employees and another 13% have allocated a dedicated full-time employee. - Organizations managed to improve their key SaaS security capabilities. Full visibility into the SaaS stack has nearly doubled since last year, leaving companies in much better positions when it comes to preventing breaches and detecting threats. - Most SaaS security challenges stem from using the wrong tool. Organizations are still struggling to manage misconfigurations, connected apps, and visibility into security risks. These challenges stem from using tools and processes such as CASB and Manual Audits. - Despite challenges, SaaS security investment is paying off. The challenges presented clearly demonstrate that organizations are taking SaaS security seriously. In fact, the survey identified a positive trend: 25% of respondents experienced a SaaS security incident in the past two years, compared with 53% last year.   [Download Now ➞](   You may [unsubscribe]( or [change your contact details]( at any time.
