Security with SaaS implementations is formidable

According to Technavio, SaaS will grow at a 9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2020 and 2023.

SaaS providers are increasingly turning to AI to gain market acceptance and growth traction. In the cloud category, SaaS adoption for IT departments for business functions of all types is expected to follow with double-digit growth.
