Security and Risk Management Strategies Methodologies & Best Practices
Software as a service (SaaS) is a way of outsourcing enterprise applications, and the industry is clearly embracing this approach.

The costs of managing risk should not be ignored, and instead, these costs should be part of the cost projections for any SaaS deployment.
