That’s why it’s critical to look at hidden risks of unauthorized SaaS apps, and how to limit risk to remain in compliance with security policies.

As an online merchant, your website processes multiple credit card payments a day. In a perfect world, each transaction would go something like this: Your customer puts your product in their cart, enters their credit card information, clicks pay, and everyone lives happily ever after. Sadly, this isn’t always the case. Chances are that you’ve seen plenty of instances when customers’ cards get declined, resulting in dreaded credit card declined codes.

When it comes to product adoption, as our Chief Customer Officer likes to analogize, showing up to the gym isn’t enough; you have to run on the treadmill to see results. You can create the perfect running environment – with new sneakers, a high-end fitness tracker, and an energizing playlist – but if you don’t put one foot in front of the other (again and again and again), then you’re never going to progress.
