Managing Security Threat in SaaS: Essential
"How To's"

Despite SaaS helping enterprises survive the economic downturn, uncertainties around security issues still seem to hamper SaaS adoption. Software Providers are repeatedly being asked questions like - 

• What is your Security policy? How secure is my data? Who can access my data in your company?
  
• How separated is my data from your other customers?
  
• How does your solution address authorization and encryption need?
  
• What kind of physical security measures are being followed?
