OwnBackup has launched a new SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) solution, OwnBackup Secure, to help companies identify data vulnerabilities and actively take action to protect their mission -critical data.
While cyberattacks continue to be a constant threat to all companies storing data in the cloud, it’s just one trend that is contributing to a larger crisis in data confidence, as volume, speed, and variety grow. other data within SaaS applications.
As SaaS solutions are adopted in more parts of a business, it becomes increasingly difficult for organizations to manage, secure and protect their data while simultaneously driving digital transformation projects-mainly because the security controls provided by SaaS providers become more difficult to manage as the data and size of users. According to OwnBackup research, 88% of sensitive information within Salesforce remains exposed to hacking and misuse by employees because most users can read or edit high-risk fields.
All of this data also poses compliance challenges, as data varies significantly in sensitivity levels and is subject to industry-specific or government-mandated regulations such as SOX, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR. Without a proper SSPM solution, it is nearly impossible for companies to understand what data they hold in their SaaS applications, who has access to it, and how much damage can be done if it is compromised.
“Protecting and managing data within your SaaS applications has become a massive task,” said Sam Gutmann, CEO of OwnBackup. “To date, no single company can help organizations manage access to sensitive data through the entire data and application development lifecycle-including classification, security posture analysis, remediation, secure processing. development, backup and recovery, and archiving. At OwnBackup Secure, along with our other products, we deliver all the capabilities through a single platform. ”
OwnBackup Secure is available on the Salesforce AppExchange. The product launch is another sign of OwnBackup’s rapid growth and reinforces their goal of providing comprehensive data protection beyond backup and recovery. Since acquiring RevCult, an SSPM provider, in the second half of 2021, OwnBackup has accelerated its security product investments to meet growing market demand and gained several new customers in just the past few months.
“OwnBackup has greatly helped Cadence Bank build a trusting partnership within our compliance and security teams,” said Carl Lange, VP of Application Systems at Cadence Bank. “Having OwnBackup Secure allows our Salesforce team to focus more on what it does best, building on system support, while security and compliance teams can focus on risk, which together benefit the bank together. “
Currently, OwnBackup provides its SaaS data protection solutions for Salesforce, of which they are the top-rated solution on the Salesforce AppExchange, as well as Microsoft Dynamics 365, the second largest CRM platform in the world. Between the same ecosystem, OwnBackup now protects over 4,500 customers worldwide. As part of their mission to empower customers to own and protect their data on any SaaS platform, they plan to launch OwnBackup Recover for ServiceNow in the coming months.
