The Value of SaaS Security Posture Management

SaaS has changed how business gets done—but it’s also changed how security teams need to think about risk.  

As more data and workflows transition to SaaS platforms, ensuring the security of how those applications are configured is just as crucial as securing who can access them. This is where SaaS Security Posture Management plays a vital role. SSPM addresses a very specific—and increasingly urgent—issue: the misconfiguration of business-critical SaaS applications such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Google Workspace, Zoom, and others.

And the stakes are high. If one of these apps is misconfigured or compromised, it can disrupt business operations, expose sensitive data, and provide a foothold for attackers to move laterally into other parts of your digital environment. That’s why SSPM is essential for every modern SaaS security program. SSPM security provides the visibility and control needed to prevent configuration drift, enforce security baselines, and reduce the risk of costly, preventable incidents, all without slowing down the pace of business.
