Misconfiguration Management

Security misconfigurations are widely regarded as the top cloud threat – stemming most commonly from simple human error, default settings left unchanged, erroneous configuration changes, or even new applications added without proper risk assessment.

Just one misconfiguration can open the door to unauthorized access – leaving your SaaS data in environments like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Slack vulnerable to potential security and compliance risks.

Why Businesses Choose SpinSPM

We needed a security solution to ensure that our university’s user base could maximize the functionality of the G Suite without compromising the institution’s sensitive information. We needed a service to screen third-party applications and let us know which ones were safe.

Roland Chan

Chief Information Security Officer

Many forms of ransomware are Trojans, not viruses, which is why conventional anti-virus tools are unable to detect ransomware attacks. At Gurnick, we are committed to taking proactive measures that ensure all our students and staff are fully protected. This is why we selected Spin Technology as the solution for our organization.

Val Pashchenko

Information Technology Manager

The ability to view what file and which user shared data outside of our company is huge. SpinOne’s PII data detection has the added benefit of being able to reach out to workers to be careful of sharing sensitive data

Jake Kilian

Technology Support Manager

It’s fast to install and easy to use. SpinOne gives me confidence in our Microsoft 365 deployment with its complete protection of user mailboxes and 2×7 ransomware monitoring.

Ted Do

IT Manager

Great product, user-friendly portal, easy setup and fills a void that Google neglected to protect your data.

Louis Burdulis

Executive Vice President

Great service. The system works flawlessly. In the event of any problems, they have a friendly and competent support team. It’s good to be protected by this service, but I still hope to never really need them.

Georg Israel

General Manager

SpinOne is the greatest Google backup client I have been able to find on the internet. Getting it up and running was a breeze. Everything is well designed, intuitive, and – best of all – their product works flawlessly. I have recommended it to all of my friends and coworkers.

Michael Svedeman

Senior Manager, Project Development

Purchasing from Spin and setting up the service was convenient, as they were very responsive and clearly communicated the value of SpinOne. Afterward, when we use the platform, the product’s simplicity put it over the top.

Geet Jacobs

Director, Digital Ops

I’ve looked at a lot of the backup solutions for Google and this is by far the best I’ve found. I really like the security tools, especially the ransomware protection for peace of mind. The flexibility in choosing what and what not to back up is very nice. The interface is clean and easy to use, and restores are a snap. We are very happy with the product.

Joshua Goss

Senior Director of IT

SpinOne has been a game changer from day one. We were drawn to SpinAI’s platform because it was so easy to set up and manage. With SpinOne, we have full transparency into what’s happening in the environment and can enforce policies that are stronger than ever before.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a security misconfiguration?

A security misconfiguration occurs when system or application configuration settings are missing or are erroneously implemented, allowing unauthorized access. Common security misconfigurations can occur as a result of leaving default settings unchanged, erroneous configuration changes or other technical issues.

Why is managing misconfigurations important?

SSPM helps correct SaaS misconfigurations
One of the risks associated with using cloud SaaS applications is not always due to an inherent security vulnerability in the cloud SaaS application itself, but rather the organizations’ misconfiguration of the cloud SaaS application. Most cloud applications have best practice recommendations and settings for keeping business-critical data secure. Manually configuring proper security settings on potentially hundreds of different SaaS applications is a losing battle for enterprise organizations with IT operations and security teams stretched thin. SSPM solutions use effective automation powered by technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to effectively and intelligently carry out routine and important security configuration tasks.

What steps can I take to reduce the chances of security misconfigurations?

To effectively mitigate extension and SaaS app risks like misconfigurations, businesses must adopt a comprehensive approach to manage the entire risk lifecycle. It involves effectively discovering all extensions and SaaS applications connected to the environment and which can access which data. It also involves proactive, continuous risk assessments of all connected extensions and SaaS apps. Finally, as risk may change over time, organizations must leverage automated risk assessments and modern cybersecurity tools to eliminate the threat.
