2. Ignoring security risks in SaaS applications
The beauty of SaaS applications is that ITOps teams can use them without having to deploy or manage them.

However, this does not mean that ITOps engineers can ignore the security risks of SaaS applications. Even if the application is completely managed by a third-party provider, issues such as insecure integration of the SaaS application with internal systems or storing sensitive data in SaaS applications not designed for this can put your business at risk.

such as security issues in SaaS email or calendar programs, can also cause serious problems for your business if you are not aware of them and do not take steps to fix them before hackers reach your users.

That's why it's important to ensure that security monitoring and belize mobile database extends to SaaS platforms and other third-party resources, not just the applications and infrastructure you deploy and manage directly.

3. Lack of recovery planning
Backing up your data is one of the most important steps to protect yourself from ransomware.

However, data backups are of little use unless you have a plan to quickly recover your data after a breach. This is a major cybersecurity mistake: assuming that you are protected from attacks just because you have backups.

You can avoid this risk by creating an action plan that outlines exactly how to recover data after a breach. It’s also a good idea to take a data inventory to know what data assets you have and what backups are associated with them. This information can make the difference between a data recovery process that takes a few hours, as opposed to weeks or months to fully restore production systems to working order—a delay that is unacceptable by most business continuity standards.
