What it is

Monitoring of settings, sharing, user permissions and connected third-party apps in your SaaS platforms, with alerts on risky changes and data exposure.

How to value it

Some of the largest data thefts of recent years came through SaaS platforms: stolen tokens of connected apps, public sharing links and support accounts with too much access. SSPM gives the security team a view of systems that business units usually run themselves.

Questions to ask a vendor

  1. 1Which SaaS platforms does it support?
  2. 2Does it monitor the OAuth apps and integrations connected to our tenants?
  3. 3Can it detect unusual data exports or API use?
  4. 4Who in the business gets the findings, and can they fix them themselves?

For your risk register

Risk

A starting point: set the owner and measure to fit your organisation.

How we list vendors

  • A product is listed because it provides the control. Nobody pays to be listed, and on story pages the examples rotate, so no vendor is always first.
  • Vendor pages show both the vendor's own research and the incidents involving its products, from our own coverage. We do not leave either out.
  • Our summaries are written by us, based on the vendors' own pages. Text in quotation marks or marked "in their own words" is the vendor's own, quoted from its website.
  • Logos, product names and quoted text belong to the vendors and are shown to identify them.
  • Something wrong? Use "Suggest a correction" on the vendor's page. A product we should look at? Email support@threatnoir.com.
