Summary

Hide ▲

Token theft is a leading cause of software-as-a-service (SaaS) breaches. OAuth and API tokens are often overlooked, allowing attackers to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA) and other security measures. SaaS sprawl and the difficulty of monitoring third-party integrations exacerbate the issue. Recent breaches at Slack, CircleCI, Cloudflare, and Salesloft/Drift highlight the risks associated with token theft. These incidents underscore the need for better token hygiene and visibility into SaaS integrations. Security teams must address the blind spots created by SaaS sprawl and hidden token trust relationships to prevent future attacks.
