Definition
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software delivery model in which applications are hosted by a service provider and made available to customers over the internet. Rather than installing and maintaining software on individual computers or local servers, users access SaaS applications through a web browser or dedicated client.
Context
Providers, like GitHub, offer to perform some service for you which entails that service have access to some of your private information or other resources.
Problems
2025-04 JP Morgan has published an open letter to third-party SaaS suppliers, highlighting concerns about security vulnerabilities in the SaaS model. The letter, written by Patrick Opet, Chief Information Security Officer, warns that SaaS providers must prioritize security over rapid feature development to prevent cyber threats. The letter emphasizes:
- The growing risk of supply chain attacks due to SaaS dependencies.
- The need for modernized security architecture to minimize risks.
- A call for collaboration among security practitioners to prevent abuse of interconnected systems.
