For too long, enterprise SaaS companies have clung to rigid annual contracts, justifying them with the need for revenue predictability. But forcing customers to stay, even when they're not getting value, doesn't build customer lifetime value; it creates resentment. This legacy mindset needs to go. The future of SaaS isn't about trapping customers with legal clauses, but about building products and relationships so strong, they'll never want to leave.

Enterprise software pricing has long operated behind closed doors—full of negotiations, hidden discounts, and inconsistent deals. But as the software landscape evolves, this old-school approach is starting to feel out of place. In this post, we explore why the industry’s pricing model is overdue for a reset—and what it looks like when a company decides to do things differently.

Managing who has access to what shouldn’t be a constant headache — but for most organizations, it is. Traditional identity governance tools are built for big budgets, long contracts, and complex rollouts. That leaves smaller teams and fast-growing companies stuck between manual work and overpriced software. That’s why we are introducing BalkanID IGA Lite — a simple, flexible way to get started with identity governance without the cost, complexity, or commitment — starting as low as $1K per month or $10K per year, along with transparent pricing for all our offerings.

If you’re a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), you’re essentially running a startup—every single day. That might sound dramatic, but the parallels are striking. Paul Graham’s essay on “Founder Mode” describes the constant juggling, problem-solving, and navigating through the uncertainty that founders face. Swap out “founder” for “CISO,” and you’ll agree with nearly every word! Like founders, CISOs operate in an environment of ambiguity, where the stakes are high, the resources are limited, and the landscape changes at breakneck speed.

Cloud security consists of policies, controls, and procedures usually deployed via a set of technologies that work in unison to protect cloud-based systems, data, and infrastructure. How does CIEM fit into Cloud Security?

IGA is an integral part of the IAM ecosystem. It allows companies to both define IAM policies and enforce them. In addition, it also connects the dots between IAM features and functions to ensure end-to-end compliance requirements are met. Consider both IAM and IGA capabilities as mechanisms to help you scale while mitigating potential risks and reducing your attack surface.

The IGA industry has evolved from one that helped automate and streamline identity administration workflows while providing visibility on entitlement risks. Modern IGA tools provide easy integrations to SaaS, public-cloud and on-prem applications while providing intelligent insights via user access risks based on various data points. Given the “work from anywhere with any device” world we live in, IGA capabilities have become even more critical to protecting our crown-jewel systems while maintaining business continuity.

The culture of DevOps promises an iterative approach to software delivery and implies that security is embedded throughout technology processes. To ensure access review efficacy, enterprises need to adopt automated tools and techniques to alert, prioritize and review access permissions in a just-in-time manner.
