Episode Synopsis

Join us on Friday, December 5th, 2025, at 12 PM EST for a critical episode of Tech Behind FinTech featuring Brian Soby, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at AppOmni — a 20-year cybersecurity veteran with deep experience across fintech, SaaS, defense, and enterprise security. Brian has held leadership roles at Salesforce, MITRE, Raytheon, and Taulia, giving him a rare 360-degree perspective on the evolution of modern cyber risk. In The SaaS Breach Epidemic: Why Financial Data Has Never Been More Exposed, Brian unpacks one of the fastest-growing and least-understood cybersecurity threats facing financial services today: the explosion of SaaS applications across the enterprise. From Zoom to Salesforce, M365 to Workday, financial institutions rely on over 150+ SaaS applications every day — each with constantly changing configurations, expanding data access, and user permissions that shift by the hour. This convenience has created a massive, tangled, and largely invisible attack surface. Misconfigurations, data sprawl, unmanaged integrations, and limited visibility across cloud apps have made SaaS one of the most actively targeted layers of the financial services threat landscape — yet it remains one of the least proactively defended. Whether you’re a CISO, security engineer, SaaS administrator, fintech founder, or risk leader, this conversation provides a rare, behind-the-scenes analysis of the SaaS security gaps affecting financial services — and practical guidance to address them before they become breaches. ⭐ What You’ll Learn• Why SaaS applications have become one of the biggest cyber risks in financial services • How misconfigurations and SaaS data sprawl lead to massive breaches • Why financial institutions struggle to secure 150+ cloud apps at scale • The most exploited gaps across Salesforce, M365, Google Workspace, Workday & more • How attackers target SaaS environments — and what they look for • Compliance pressure from SOX, PCI DSS, GDPR, DORA, ISO 27001, NIST, APRA CPS 234 • Practical steps financial institutions can take to secure their SaaS estate today ** Stay ahead of industry trends — subscribe to our newsletter: https://techbehindfintech.com/subscribe
