Software as a service (SaaS) is a rapidly evolving field of software and technology development for businesses. Companies hire SaaS providers to develop and build industry-specific software custom-tailored to their unique needs. A SaaS company holds a lot of private information on their clients and the systems and business practices that their clients use. This is a lucrative collection of data that cybercriminals can exploit for their own ends.

Likewise, technology companies and developers in all forms have information that cybercriminals can use for profit and sell on the dark web for other uses. Any hijacked information can be bought and used nefariously to destroy a client’s network, hold their systems ransom, or otherwise disrupt their normal operations.
