What we’re about
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) is the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining and raising awareness of best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment. CSA harnesses the subject matter expertise of industry practitioners, associations, governments, and its corporate and individual members to offer cloud security-specific research, education, certification, events, and products. CSA’s activities, knowledge, and extensive network benefit the entire community impacted by cloud — from providers and customers, to governments, entrepreneurs, and the assurance industry — and provide a forum through which diverse parties can work together to create and maintain a trusted cloud ecosystem.

Who’s really responsible for securing your SaaS apps?
From decentralized administration to the limits of the shared responsibility model, we’ll unpack how misaligned accountability and shadow IT are putting sensitive data at risk. According to the 2025 State of SaaS Security Report, 86% of organizations calling SaaS security a top priority—yet real gaps persist. Over half of employees are adopting new SaaS apps without security’s involvement, and 57% of orgs report fragmented administration across teams. The Snowflake customer breach is a stark reminder: even when the provider is secure, weak MFA, overprivileged access, and misconfigurations on the customer side can lead to real-world compromise. Join CSA and Valence for a candid conversation about the rising complexity of SaaS environments, what the data tells us, and how security leaders can regain control.Attendees will walk away with:
- Practical strategies for managing SaaS security within the shared responsibility model
- A clear understanding of how decentralized app ownership creates blind spots and policy breakdowns
- Actionable steps for improving visibility, control, and collaboration across business units and SaaS platforms
