📊 Did you know? The average company now uses 371 SaaS applications! 🤯 This staggering number highlights how essential SaaS has become for modern businesses. From collaboration tools and CRMs to niche productivity apps, SaaS is powering innovation and efficiency across industries. But here’s the challenge: managing such a sprawling SaaS ecosystem is no small feat. With so many applications in play, organizations must contend with issues like: Visibility: Do you know all the apps your teams are using? Security: Are these apps properly vetted to protect sensitive data? Cost: Are you paying for underutilized tools or duplicate services? To thrive in this SaaS-driven era, companies need strong governance, clear policies, and secure practices in place to maximize value without compromising control. 💡 How is your organization keeping up with the growing SaaS landscape? Let’s discuss! #SaaSManagement #DigitalTransformation #CyberSecurity #CloudComputing

🚨 Google Cloud's Big Move: MFA Becomes Mandatory by 2025 🚨 Starting soon, Google Cloud users will need to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to access their services, with full implementation required by the end of 2025. This initiative is a direct response to escalating cyber threats and aims to fortify security for businesses and individuals alike. Why does this matter? 🔒 Stronger Protection: MFA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if passwords are compromised. 💡 Phased Rollout: Google is providing time and resources to help organizations adapt to these changes, starting November 2024. 🌐 Cloud Security Evolution: This move highlights the growing demand for robust identity management across all cloud and SaaS platforms. At CheckRed, we know the challenges of managing cloud security and compliance. That's why our platform doesn’t just stop at MFA—we offer continuous monitoring to detect misconfigurations, excessive privileges, and identity risks across your cloud environments. 🔗 Ready to learn more about Google’s MFA mandate and how to secure your cloud?

🚨 MSPs and MSSPs: Are You Ready for CMMC 2.0? 🚨 Navigating cybersecurity for your clients is challenging enough—add the updated Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0, and it's clear that the stakes just got higher. If your clients work with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), CMMC compliance isn’t optional—it’s mandatory. The updated framework introduces new levels of flexibility while maintaining rigorous security standards to protect sensitive data. 💡 Here’s why this matters for you: - Ensure Client Compliance: Your clients rely on you to help meet CMMC requirements and stay eligible for DoD contracts. - Protect Sensitive Data: Safeguard FCI and CUI against evolving cyber threats with advanced security controls. - Stand Out in the Market: Become a trusted partner by positioning your expertise in CMMC compliance. - Simplify Compliance: Leverage self-assessments, third-party audits, and robust cybersecurity tools to streamline the process. Check out our latest blog, for a detailed breakdown of the updated framework, the three certification levels, and how to help your clients achieve compliance while strengthening your service offerings. 🔗 Read the full guide here https://lnkd.in/eFwt5UWc 💬 What challenges or questions do you have about CMMC 2.0?
