How to Tackle SaaS Security Misconfigurations

Whether it’s Office 365, Salesforce, Slack, GitHub or Zoom, all
SaaS apps include a host of security features designed to protect
the business and its data. The job of ensuring these apps’ security
settings are properly configured falls on the security team.

The challenge lies within how burdensome this responsibility is
— each app has tens or hundreds of security settings to configure,
in addition to the continuous need for general or user updates,
compounded by many compliance industry standards and frameworks
that organizations need to follow.

Not to mention the fact that often the SaaS app owner sits
outside the outside of the security team in the department that
most uses the app (think Sales has CRM app, Marketing has
automation app), and they are untrained and not focused on the
security upkeep of the app. It all amounts to just how unrealistic
it is to expect security teams to be able to stay in control of the
organization’s SaaS stack.

That’s why Gartner named SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)
as a MUST HAVE solution to continuously assess security risks and
manage the SaaS applications’ security posture in the “4 Must-Have Technologies That Made the
Gartner Hype Cycle for Cloud Security, 2021^[1]” Other cloud solutions
don’t offer preventative coverage. For example, a CASB solution is
event-driven; CASB will alert the organization to a SaaS leak or
breach only once it has occurred.

This is where Adaptive Shield’s SSPM solution^[2] comes in — the SaaS
Security Posture Management solution that enables security teams to
have full visibility and control of the company’s SaaS apps and
their posture to prevent a leak or breach. Security teams
can identify, analyze, and prioritize misconfigurations in their
SaaS stack to maintain continuous security. As a SaaS that
integrates with SaaS, the Adaptive Shield solution can be live
within minutes.

You can think of it as your SaaS “CCTV,” which provides
continuous visibility across the entire ecosystem at every given
moment, spotting and raising issues once there is the first sign of
a glitch or drift.

With Adaptive Shield, you can filter and slice the data by app,

The core of the solution is the detailed and granular security
checks being continuously performed across the SaaS stack, while
security teams can address misconfigurations immediately or create
a ticket that integrates with any ticketing system:
