Challenges with SaaS Costly Subscriptions SaaS subscriptions models are not truly consumption based and lock enterprises into multi-year licenses where intensity of usage is not factored in. Creates Data Silos Enterprises spend a lot of time and money transferring their SaaS data back into their corporate network for reporting, analytics and security reasons. Inconsistent Security & Compliance The ability to provide a robust, reliable, secure and compliant SaaS platform is uneven.

Why do you care? How do I get my enterprise data sitting in all of these SaaS platforms, to drive my Data Science projects? Why are we spending twice for our data once with the SaaS provider and then again in our Data Warehouse on IaaS? Is my security posture being compromised by all of the SaaS services we are consuming?

Some real-world examples In response to the Interest Rate changes, a major financial services provider needed to rapidly re-calculate their profit margins, net asset values and exposure risk. Rapid data access and aggregation were stumbling blocks as the data had to be pulled from various SaaS services. This weakness and inability to access data and perform the required analytics, triggered Board Action and an Enterprise Audit. Is SaaS limiting your agility and blunting your competitive edge? PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF STACKARMOR 8
Is your SaaS safe? A major mobile SaaS provider exposed the access credentials in their code in plain view with disastrous security implications. Is your security posture compromised by various SaaS services? Are contractual and insurance protections enough? "Pricing, governance and security are key for enterprises consuming multiple SaaS services. It becomes challenging to understand the security footprint of the system as a whole as the number of SaaS services consumed increases." Derek Collison, CEO, Apcera and senior technology executive with positions at Google, VMware, and TIBCO Software. PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF STACKARMOR 9
