    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.

    Thanks for the episode. I was using ossec host integrity servers to monitor the changes on system,file level with very short interval and I think SSPM has that capability to expand same workflow to Azure resources that we have.

    I love how SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) shows security recommendations for SaaS applications like Salesforce, DocuSign, and GitHub and it is free as well and nothing to configure if you already have the applications connected using an app connector. Can't be more easier than this..

    Thank you Heike and David!

    Thank you for the episode today!
    I learned that SSPM is integrated with Microsoft Secure Score, our security team can identity misconfigurations and get a step-by-step remediation guide for a risky security configuration for the related SaaS apps.

    The most valuable piece of info from the SSPM session was that this feature is included with our E5 license. One question: how do the connectors to the SaaS platforms work? Is this some API call? Thanks, Greg

      Hi!

       

      Yes indeed the app connectors are api based. The same connectors used by Defender for Cloud Apps, for other features of the product are also leveraged here, which makes it seamless in terms of configuration. (On top of being available at no additional cost as you pointed out 🙂 ).
