🔍 Your most critical data may no longer live on systems you own!

In this new episode of the #FirstImpressionsPodcast, Julie Agnes Sparks and Greg Foss of Datadog discuss the growing threat of #SaaS focused attacks and the visibility gaps that leave many organizations exposed.

From credential theft and supply chain compromises to data exfiltration, attackers are increasingly targeting the applications organizations depend on every day. Julie and Greg preview their upcoming #FIRSTCON26 talk and share practical advice on understanding SaaS logs, identifying detection opportunities, recognizing blind spots, and building a baseline before an incident occurs.
