SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)
SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)
SaaS security posture management continuously monitors the configuration and security settings of SaaS applications. SaaS platforms are configured by the customer, so misconfigurations and excessive permissions can expose sensitive data.
Key Features
- Visibility: centralized visibility of all SaaS applications in use
- Policies: detect risky settings by comparing them with best practices and industry standards
- Alerts: notifications for misconfiguration and policy drift
- Remediation: automated workflows and recommendations to fix risks
Benefits
- Simplifies compliance management
- Prevents cloud misconfigurations
- Detects excessive permissions
CSPM vs SSPM
- CSPM scans IaaS and PaaS workloads in providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
- SSPM analyzes and protects SaaS applications such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Zoom, ServiceNow, Workday, and Slack.
