What is SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)?
The growing risks of uncontrolled Shadow IT and cloud configuration call for a solution that will help companies close these security gaps.
SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) refers to the security solutions and tooling needed for automated continuous monitoring and visibility of an organization’s SaaS apps in the cloud SaaS environment.
It helps to minimize cloud misconfigurations and security risks of SaaS apps and provides native security controls to help protect sensitive data housed in cloud services. In addition, it bolsters the security team by providing 24x7x365 monitoring of the environment, quickly detecting security gaps in cloud apps, and allowing SecOps to address security issues effectively or use automated responses to remediate these.
Frequently Asked Questions
SpinSPM FAQ’s
What is SaaS security posture?
An enterprise’s security posture refers to the overall security state of all software, hardware, configurations, services, networks, and applications as part of the technical landscape. It is a good indicator of how the organization can defend against security threats and security risks as these come along. When related to SaaS, all the same principles apply. However, the underlying infrastructure security is fully managed since SaaS is located in a cloud provider data center. Therefore, the focus shifts to the security stance and configuration of the SaaS applications.
How to choose the Right SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) Solution for Your Organization?
To choose the right SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) solution for your organization, consider the following factors:
- Centralized Platform: Opt for a solution with comprehensive functionality to avoid using multiple tools.
- Integrations: Ensure compatibility with the tools your business already uses.
- Monitoring & Incident Reporting: Look for 24/7 monitoring and effective reporting methods, like email alerts.
- Application Coverage: Confirm how many applications the SSPM detects and how often the database updates.
- Risk Assessment: Evaluate the criteria and scoring method for app risk assessment.
- Access Revoke: A feature to revoke high-risk app access is essential for swift risk mitigation.
- Blocklisting & Allowlisting: Supports a zero-trust approach, preventing shadow IT issues.
- Security Policies: Ensure the SSPM allows configurable security policies based on app risk.
- Employee Request System: Streamlines app acquisition requests for IT management.
- Customization: Look for platform customization to align with your unique security needs.
- Support: Confirm the availability of round-the-clock support.
- Pricing: Assess the value in terms of cost savings, automation, and incident prevention.
What are SSPM Key Features and Capabilities?
The three key features of every SSPM include detection, assessment, allowlisting and blocklisting. Detection is essential as cloud environments usually lack functionality that provides visibility into the OAuth applications that have access to them. Assessment is essential to make informed decisions on whether to keep an application or block it. It helps the security team cut time on manual app risk assessment. Finally, the ability to create allowlists and blocklists can automate even further the process for the team.
What is the difference between SSPM and CASB?
Many people, and even cybersecurity professionals, find it difficult to tell the difference between CASB and SSPM solutions. There are some similarities between them. For example, both are security solutions that are deployed in the cloud and help prevent cyber incidents.
However, CASB differs from SSPM when it comes to application, deployment, timing, and scope. Let’s take a closer look at each of these aspects.
Application: CASBs work with both on-premise and cloud environments, while SSPMs are cloud-only solutions.
Deployment: SSPMs are typically subscription-based, whereas CASBs can be either SaaS or on-premise tools, sometimes requiring additional hardware to operate.
Timing: Unlike SSPMs, CASBs do not identify the security incidents after they take place.
Scope: CASBs mainly manage cloud data access, while SSPMs offer a broader view, identifying vulnerabilities and helping to remediate them across the entire cloud environment.1
SSPM FAQ’s
How does SpinSPM help organizations secure their clouds?
While cloud SaaS is ripe with modern tools and technologies empowering businesses, it can equally be filled with security pitfalls using SaaS applications. For example, cloud misconfigurations, risky third-party applications, shadow IT, ransomware, data leakage, and many other threats can jeopardize critical and sensitive data and lead to security breaches. SpinSPM provides the capabilities needed for automated continuous monitoring and visibility of an organization’s SaaS apps in the cloud SaaS environment. It helps to minimize cloud misconfigurations and security risks of SaaS apps and provides native security controls to help protect sensitive data housed in cloud services. In addition, it bolsters the security team by providing 24x7x365 monitoring of the environment, quickly detecting security gaps in cloud apps, and allowing SecOps to address security issues effectively or use automated responses to remediate these.
Does SSPM cover third-party applications as well?
Yes. SSPM helps you inventory and gain visibility of all third-party cloud services, mobile apps, generative AI (GenAI) apps, and SaaS apps that have access to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Slack and understand who has access to these apps. Unlike other SSPM solutions, SpinSPM goes a step further by also providing visibility into third-party browser extensions.
How do I get started with implementing SSPM for my organization?
Implementing SSPM and understanding SaaS security posture is incredibly important as it helps organizations understand their vulnerabilities and how these can be corrected. An SSPM checklist can help you get started, including these steps:
- Evaluate data that isn’t protected
- Provide visibility to data sharing
- Detect and remediate malicious threats
- Harden SaaS configurations
- Evaluate the risks of SaaS apps
Why Do Enterprises Need SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)?
Over 75% of third-party SaaS applications are considered medium or high-risk applications according to our App Risk Report. And nearly 50% of installed extensions are high risk according to our Extension Risk Report. To respond to these SaaS risks, SSPM provides automated visibility and scanning of configurations, settings, and permissions to ensure these are configured according to security and compliance best practices. SSPM automation saves manual hours for SecOps professionals since SSPM can carry out the tedious manual tasks of analyzing configurations and continuously scanning for security and compliance risks.
What is the SpinSPM pricing model?
