Streamlined processes certainly help your team spend less time on manual tasks. But saved time is also a major boost to your clients’ security.
The faster you can notice a cyber security issue, the faster you can rectify it. And those minutes can mean the difference between a breach that leads nowhere — or one that leads to major data theft that requires hours of documentation and endless cleanup.
With SaaS Alerts, security breaches can now be detected much more quickly, so your team can act fast.
“SaaS Alerts literally shaves 95 to 98% off our response time. Now we’re able to take action within minutes.”
Without a tool like SaaS Alerts, it can take much longer to catch an active breach. It comes down to a simple numbers game: Do you have enough technicians watching enough clients? Or is the team trying to do too much — and potentially missing attacks because their plates are too full?
With SaaS Alerts, you can feel confident that there’s a streamlined tool working in the background that will alert you promptly when something suspicious goes down.
That increased visibility lets you be more proactive and quickly strike down hacking attempts.
“The tool has allowed us to catch a few relatively minor compromises. And when I say minor, it’s because of SaaS Alerts. If we didn’t have SaaS Alerts, those would have been major compromises.”
When it comes to monitoring account behavior, capturing and storing a lot of data is valuable. A robust archive of “typical” behavior helps you see changes in patterns and identify a potential breach.
However, not every piece of data you collect needs to turn into an alert. Too many alerts only lead to desensitization. Eventually the team will just stop paying attention.
SaaS Alerts gives you the power to categorize and prioritize alerts. This means you can set thresholds or even combine multiple behaviors into a single alert. Then when that indicator of compromise (IOC) happens, you can elevate something from a low-level event to a medium or even a critical alert.
You can even layer in automated remediation to help resolve issues without any manual intervention.
Much like in a military operation, an after-action report can do a lot of good. It outlines what went wrong — and what the team did right in response.
SaaS Alerts arms you with the necessary data to more effectively report on potential breaches. And more importantly, on your team’s actions to stop those breaches.
Clients can glance at the report, see that you cut off a hacker within minutes, and breathe a sigh of relief that you have their back.
“I’ll call a client and say, ‘You’ve been compromised. We’re taking these actions.’ Then we do a final report to their management of what happened. I know clients are grateful we were able to step in.”
An alert in cybersecurity, particularly in the context of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, is a notification or warning that is generated when a potential security issue or anomaly is detected. These alerts are integral to maintaining the security and integrity of SaaS applications.
In the context of SaaS, where applications are hosted remotely and accessed over the internet, having a robust alert system is crucial. It helps in maintaining the security of data and services, which is particularly important since SaaS applications often handle sensitive or critical business information.
In SaaS cyber security, alerts can be categorized based on the nature and severity of the potential security issue they indicate. Alerts can range from low-priority events that are only logged for future forensic value to high-priority warnings about possible breaches or severe vulnerabilities.
Understanding these different types of alerts is crucial for effective threat detection and response. Here are some common types:
