May ISC2 Boulder Chapter Meeting

ISC2 Boulder Chapter proudly hosts Vishal Chawla, a cybersecurity strategist and CEO of BluOcean Cyber with 25+ years experience. Vishal will be presenting his expertise on managing security concerns of Software as a Service (Saas).

SaaS adoption has skyrocketed, but the convenience of these tools often outpaces the security measures needed to govern them. Unchecked SaaS proliferation—dubbed the "SaaS Sprawl"—exposes organizations to compliance failures, data breaches, and operational risks. This session is a call to action for security professionals to take control before SaaS sprawl compromises business integrity.

1. What is SaaS Sprawl and Why Does It Matter? Understand risks of unsanctioned applications (shadow SaaS) and inadequate visibility into usage.
2. The Shared Responsibility Model: Who's Really in Control? A deep dive into the shared responsibility model: understanding what the SaaS provider secures vs. what you are responsible for. Example of misconfigurations leading to unauthorized access, as seen in high-profile breaches.
3. The Domino Effect of SaaS Sprawl: One Weak Link, Many Consequences Discuss real-world case studies of SaaS breaches: what went wrong, what could have been done better.
4. Building a Proactive Framework to Control SaaS Sprawl Gain practical insights into a revolutionary framework for managing your SaaS ecosystem.
5. Best Practices for Managing SaaS Security Discover proven strategies to enhance SaaS security, including tools and standard operating processes for continuous monitoring and risk management
6. The Human Element: Bridging the Gap Between Engineers and Security Teams Learn how to foster a cross-disciplinary approach to ensure all stakeholders are aligned on SaaS security objectives
