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:
