Security at TC Sessions: SaaS 2024 - TechCrunch

SaaS Security Insights from Microsoft, Cisco, and Amplitude

Recent discussions at TC Sessions: SaaS featured security perspectives from representatives of Microsoft, Cisco, and Amplitude.

Organizations continuously contend with a diverse range of security threats. These originate from sources including nation-state actors, cybercriminals, and even individuals within the company itself.

The Impact of the Pandemic on Cybersecurity

The rapid shift to remote work during the pandemic fundamentally altered the security landscape. Millions transitioned from traditional office environments to home-based workspaces in a remarkably short timeframe.

The cloud proved resilient and became indispensable. It was no longer simply a convenient technology, but a vital component for business continuity throughout the 2020 lockdowns.

Evolving Threats in the Cloud

This transformation necessitated adaptation. As businesses and employees adjusted to remote work, malicious actors also modified their tactics.

The cloud’s capacity to store vast datasets and deliver applications directly to employees, regardless of location, presents both opportunities and new vulnerabilities. Threat actors are actively observing these changes.

Consequently, both startups and established corporations must prioritize staying informed about the latest security developments.
