Reco, a leading provider of SaaS security, announced today that it has published The State of SaaS Security 2024, an inaugural cybersecurity research report that uncovers the biggest risks and trends in SaaS security. By analyzing over 50 organizations and 6,600 SaaS environments, Reco identified the most common misconfigurations, risks, and threats to SaaS data security across all industries today that organizations can use to secure their expanding SaaS footprint.
The report reveals critical trends and strategic opportunities that will help shape the future of SaaS security:
