EGV SOFTWARE (SaaS) LICENCING
Until a few years ago, most business applications and data were hosted on in-house servers. From a security perspective, this put all of the onus on the operation, but at least it was clear what needed to be secured – and how to do it. The infrastructure was local and familiar. All that changed, though, as more businesses have adopted Software as a Service (SaaS) tools.
SaaS tools live in the cloud, and the programs present new security concerns, including vulnerability to new malware and phishing attacks to the potential exposure of client data. However, with appropriate SaaS Security tools, businesses can secure these cloud-based programs.
But what exactly is SaaS Security? Put simply, it is cloud-based security designed to protect the sensitive information these applications carry from the widespread use and the easy access they provide.
