How Veritas Alta™ SaaS Protection Universal Search Capabilities Solve the Challenges of Multiple Cloud-based & SaaS Solutions

On average, 130 SaaS applications were utilized by businesses worldwide in 2022, according to Statista. In this vein, Gartner anticipates that by 2026, 50% of organizations will centralize SaaS application management.

Nonetheless, the convenience of SaaS packages—often set up without IT involvement—has led to "SaaS sprawl" across departments, each seeking specialized solutions like ERP, CRM, or HR systems. Yet, for a business to function efficiently, these various applications can't work in isolation. Instead, they must sync data and align business processes.

SaaS Silos and Security Risks in 2023

Inefficiency, inconsistency, inaccuracy, and security risks often generate issues for SaaS users due to the dual challenges of data silos and fragmentation. Data silos trap valuable information in isolated, incompatible systems, but data fragmentation scatters it across various locations, formats, or versions. For those needing to access, integrate, and analyze data from many sources and platforms, these obstacles can be a real headache.

The 2023 Cost of a Data Breach report found that over 39% of breaches involved data scattered across multiple settings, making them costlier and tougher to contain. If companies don't even know where their data is, how can they protect it? This blind spot poses a security risk and triggers compliance issues, potentially leading to hefty fines, legal headaches, and reputational damage.

But how can you integrate together SaaS solutions without breaking your business operations (and the bank)? As businesses across all industries warm up to SaaS, ensuring smooth interoperability alongside successful integration with your IT and external solutions is the key. But here's the catch: genuine efficiency means these solutions should be able to share data effortlessly.
