The  damage  that  can  be  done  is  proportional  to  the  administrative  access  of  the
               compromised account, but the access rights of a single employee are typically enough
               to embed and spread throughout the organization, exfiltrating a tremendous amount of
               data along the way.



               About the Author


               Michael Landewe has worked in the security industry for over a
               decade. He cofounded Avanan after repeatedly getting asked
               by customers how to bring the level of security they had on-
               prem  to  their  cloud  environment.  This  prompted  the
               realization  that  the  best  security  technologies  for
               malware  detection,  data  classification,  encryption,
               user  management,  access  control,  and  so  much
               more already existed. Unfortunately, customers had
               no  way  to  connect  it  to  their  SaaS  applications  in  a
               unified way, with just a single click.

               With that vision in mind, Avanan cloudified the security tools of the industry's
               leading  vendors  and  built  a  platform  that  could  connect  these  tools  to  the
               most widely used enterprise SaaS applications.
