The Growing Threat of SaaS Sprawl: Protecting Your Attack Surface in 2025

What is SaaS Sprawl?

SaaS sprawl refers to the rapid growth of SaaS (Software as a Service) applications within an organization, leading to a sprawling attack surface. This can include identity risks, data security risks, and third-party risks, all of which are exacerbated by the increasing number of SaaS accounts and identities to manage.

The Risks of SaaS Sprawl

Every new SaaS account adds a new identity to secure, a new place where sensitive data can end up, and a new source of third-party risk. This growing attack surface, much of which is unknown or unmanaged in most organizations, has become an attractive target for attackers.

Why Secure Your SaaS Attack Surface in 2025?

Here are four compelling reasons to prioritize securing your SaaS attack surface in 2025:

1. Modern Work Runs on SaaS

In today’s digital landscape, most work is done using cloud-based applications. It’s unlikely that you’ve used something other than a cloud-based app to do your work in recent times. This shift to cloud-based work has created a new attack surface that requires careful management.

2. SaaS Sprawl is a Growing Concern

The rapid growth of SaaS applications within organizations has created a sprawling attack surface that is difficult to manage. This can lead to identity risks, data security risks, and third-party risks, all of which can have serious consequences for your organization.

3. SaaS Security Solutions are Available

Implementing a SaaS security solution can be much faster and easier than you might think. These solutions can help you uncover apps and accounts that are no longer needed, saving you money and reducing the risk of security breaches.
