The recent Salesloft–Drift OAuth breach illustrates a new headache for cyber insurers: the hidden risks lurking in SaaS supply chains. Running from August 8 to August 18, the attack impacted roughly 700 organisations. By exploiting trusted integrations, attackers bypassed multi-factor authentication (MFA), turning OAuth tokens – digital keys that allow apps to access accounts without passwords – from the Drift–Salesforce connector into unrestricted access. This gave them entry to sensitive customer data, cloud credentials, and other critical assets.

A 2024 Novidea survey found that 41% of insurance professionals admit their core systems haven’t been updated in over five years. Even more striking, 76% of large firms rely on six or more systems, and nearly a fifth operate with ten or more. This tangled web of legacy technology undermines data quality, security, and scalability, threatening the very potential of AI to transform business.
