Enabling the Safe Use of SaaS Applications

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications are changing the way organizations do business. Despite being incredibly useful tools to drive productivity, they pose high levels of risk.

Aperture™ SaaS security service, a key component of our platform for securing sanctioned SaaS applications, is now available globally with the launch of new data centers in Europe and Asia. This global expansion also introduces enhanced data leakage prevention (DLP) and machine learning capabilities for documents written in native regional languages, such as German and Japanese.
