Security teams are responsible for protecting sensitive business data as it spreads across a complex network of SaaS applications. Managing vast amounts of data stored in these applications has become increasingly difficult. While organizations commonly use central platforms such as Salesforce, Workday, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365, numerous custom-built applications exist for specific teams and industries.
