Wednesday, 22 January 2025

3:00 – 4:00 pm (GMT)

Secure by Design: How to build trust in your SaaS or Cloud-based platform

As the digital landscape rapidly evolves and the SaaS (Software as a Service) market grows, SaaS providers are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated cyber threats. Rigorous penetration testing (pen testing) is crucial for safeguarding Cloud-based applications and maintaining customer trust. According to Gartner Cloud services is projected to reach 678.8 billion (£517.85 billion) in 2024, up from $536.6 billion (£409.36 billion) – a clear indicator of the expanding attack surface for SaaS providers.

Regular pen testing is instrumental in ensuring SaaS providers meet stringent compliance requirements, including ISO 27001, the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act). This not only protects sensitive data but also reinforces stakeholder confidence in your organisation’s security posture.

Join our live webinar to gain actionable insights from industry experts on fortifying your SaaS applications against emerging threats.
