SaaS applications now support many of the enterprise’s most important business processes and thus hold large volumes of sensitive data. At the same time, embedded AI, standalone AI applications, copilots, AI agents, OAuth integrations, non-human identities, and SaaS-to-SaaS connections create a larger and more interconnected risk surface. Security teams must govern not only how applications are configured, but also who or what can access them, which data can be reached, how permissions are delegated, and what activity is occurring across the environment.
These changes are pushing SaaS security beyond the traditional boundaries of SSPM. Discovery and configuration monitoring remain foundational, but the market is evolving toward broader visibility and control across identity posture, OAuth and third-party integrations, data exposure, active threats, remediation workflows, compliance, cost governance, and AI agents. What is emerging is not simply a larger feature set, but a more unified control plane for SaaS and AI risk.
Drawing on the findings of the SaaS Security and AI Governance Leadership Compass, this webinar will examine where the market is heading, which requirements are moving from optional to essential, and where capabilities remain immature or fragmented. Attendees will gain a research-driven view of the market’s evolution and the implications for security architecture, governance, and program priorities.
Matthew Gardiner, Fellow Analysts at KuppingerCole Analysts will present the central findings from KuppingerCole’s SaaS Security and AI Governance Leadership Compass research. He will explain how AI is changing the scope and direction of SaaS security, identify the capabilities moving from optional to essential, and discuss what this evolution means for enterprise security architecture, governance, and investment priorities.
Who should attend
This webinar is designed for CISOs and security leaders; SaaS, cloud, and application security teams; IAM and identity security professionals; AI governance and GRC leaders; enterprise and security architects; IT operations teams; and technology strategy stakeholders responsible for the security and governance of SaaS, AI, and agentic systems.
