SaaS Security Posture Management

SaaS Security Posture Management

As enterprises move workloads and sensitive data to the cloud, SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) is essential for evaluating SaaS security posture, identifying risks, and addressing issues related to permissions, access, and overall security.

Netskope SaaS Security Posture Management provides organizations with the tools to assess risk exposure, detect and remediate misconfigurations, enforce compliance standards, and protect against insider threats effectively.

Key Features in SSPM

Once your SaaS environment is configured for monitoring, SSPM offers several robust features that provide enhanced security and posture monitoring:

  • Security Posture Monitoring: Continuously tracks your SaaS environment to identify and alert on security posture risks, giving you clear visibility into  potential risks that arise due to misconfigurations or risky 3rd Party Apps.

  • Guided Remediation: SSPM offers step-by-step guidance to help remediate posture issues. With actionable insights and recommendations, you can efficiently resolve identified risks, reducing the likelihood of exploitation.

  • Compliance Monitoring: Ensures that your SaaS environment remains compliant with industry-specific regulations. Continuous monitoring & reporting helps stay compliant with regulatory requirements and maintain a strong security posture.
