The Challenge: Navigating a Growing SaaS Ecosystem
When one of BluOcean Cyber’s Financial Services clients struggled with SaaS misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and third-party risk, it turned to BluOcean’s SaaS security expertise and AppOmni’s industry-leading platform to build a scalable, proactive SaaS security program.
Operating in a highly regulated market, the Financial Services client faced:
- Overwhelming SaaS alerts that buried real risks
- Persistent misconfigurations and overly permissive access
