The most valuable piece of information gained from David's demo is that a majority of security failures in the cloud are human driven. With SSPM I can now take best practices for apps, analyze how the app is configured / misconfigurations and provide security admin a better view.
- The most valuable piece of information I gained from David's demo on SSPM was how large the current list of connectors is and how Microsoft is working to expand the list to allow SSPM to evaluate more third party cloud apps.
- Hi Heike and the Virtual Ninja Training crew! I was already well aware of the recommended best practices and benchmarks for Microsoft products, but hadn't stumbled upon the same applying for third party SaaS apps. Thanks to David, it seems like a very powerful tool to hunt down weak links in your SaaS posture!
- Excellent show session, I love the way to get visibility into the security posture of third party apps we have in our tenants, and the easy way to identify recommendations and actions to improve the security posture of third party apps and own apps, and the options to monitor Secure Score recommendations. Thanks Heike!
_Herve_Thank you for this episode and this new feature in CASB
2 valuable informations for me :
It is included in the license you have already acquired.
If your application is connected to MCAS, so we have nothing more to do.
Nothing to pay and nothing to do --> really cool 😄
Ronen_RefaeliHi Hervé, just one comment - SSPM is included in E5 license.
So, if someone has E5, SSPM will be automatically included.
- Thanks again for a wonderful run down,
I reckon the great value shows itself as efficiency in the overall security and protection. With the explosion of SaaS applications leveraging Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps SSPM can simply speed up the process of detection and remediation by providing the right direction to the relevant team and obtain the results.
This well aligned with do more with less strategy!
Thanks, Saeed - Lucas_PessoaFor me, the most valuable piece of information I gained from David's demo was getting to learn more about the Secure Score feature available in the Microsoft 365 Defender Portal. I find it amazing how this feature integrates best practices and security posture for different areas such as identity, data, service and apps. It's also a great metric for companies to know their current security posture and the recommended actions they can take to improve the security of their environment which have a direct impact on their Secure Score as well.
- The most valuable piece of information that I gained was that SSPM utilizes both vendor best practices and public benchmarks (i.e. CIS) to identify misconfigurations or risk configurations and recommend the appropriate corrective action.
HeikeRitter - The most valuable piece of information I gathered from this session is that how MCAS is continuously evolving towards an overall SaaS security solution and features like Secure score allow sharing of security posture improvement recommendations to the administrators of connected apps. Helps in speeding up remediation efforts.
Lastly, kudos to Heike and team for making these short and very informative episodes, these help a lot in improving product understanding.

HeikeRitter I learned that SSPM is an extension of the Defender Cloud Apps product. That is a great value proposition for our CASB customers and another way to "do more with less."
