Secure your SaaS applications like this!

SaaS Applications support large companies, small startups. We inevitably accumulate SAAS applications to manage our employees, payroll, communication with things like Workday, Slack, Salesforce and now even things like ChatGPT. But how do you find out what you have and if they are secure. We spoke about all things SSPM with Max Feldman who has done Product Security for years at companies like Slack, Salesforce and now AppOmni.
