The “SaaS Disruption Report 2024” by Onymos, in collaboration with ESG, provides insights into the landscape of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) adoption and its implications for security and data management. Through a survey of 300 leaders in app development, IT, and security across midmarket and enterprise organizations in the United States, the report emphasizes the increasing reliance on SaaS solutions. It highlights security and data privacy as top priorities.
The key findings reveal that 72% of respondents consider security the most critical factor in application development, while 65% prioritize data privacy. However, the report identifies significant security threats associated with SaaS solutions, with 45% of respondents experiencing a cybersecurity incident through a third-party SaaS tool in the past year.
As SaaS continues to dominate the software development landscape, the report underscores the need for organizations to prioritize robust security measures and data management strategies to mitigate emerging risks and ensure the integrity of their business operations.
