Misconfigurations and vulnerabilities are often confused in SaaS security discussions. Vulnerabilities are flaws in the vendor's code that only they can patch, while misconfigurations are user-controlled settings that can lead to security risks. The shared responsibility model in SaaS emphasizes that vendors handle infrastructure security, whereas customers must manage application settings, access, and data sharing. Underestimating the importance of these user responsibilities can create significant security gaps, as many organizations rely solely on vendor trust, leading to potential blind spots in security configurations.
Misconfigurations are user-controlled settings that can lead to security issues, such as third-party apps with excessive access or internal sites being exposed unintentionally.
Vulnerabilities refer to flaws within the SaaS platform's code that only the vendor can patch, which include issues like zero-days or code-level exploits.
