Qualys SSPM (SaaS Security Posture Management)

Your SaaS applications deserve the same visibility and control as your cloud infrastructure.

Critical business data now lives in SaaS platforms such as Salesforce, Zoom, Microsoft Office and Slack. Their global settings, excessive user privileges and shared files often sit outside the security team’s line of sight. Qualys SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) manages security posture and risk across your entire SaaS application stack, running on the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform as part of the TotalCloud CNAPP.

Bring SaaS risk into the same program as cloud risk

Through SaaS connectors, SSPM brings global settings, user privileges, licenses and files into a single view of your security and compliance posture. Together with the rest of TotalCloud, it delivers comprehensive security from IaaS to SaaS.

• API-based SaaS connectors: Your SaaS platforms connect to Qualys over APIs, with no agent required.
• Central visibility: Global settings, user privileges, licenses and files are monitored from one console.
• Discovery: All users, files and applications across your SaaS platforms are discovered.
• Misconfiguration and vulnerability detection: Settings that weaken security and vulnerabilities are detected and surfaced for remediation.
• Alerts on risky user behavior: Risky user behavior in your SaaS environments triggers alerts.

Coverage and deployment

• Example platforms: Widely used SaaS applications such as Salesforce, Zoom, Microsoft Office and Slack.
• Deployment: Fast, frictionless onboarding through API-based SaaS connectors.
• SaaS Detection and Response (SaaSDR): SaaSDR in the Qualys portfolio connects your SaaS platforms to Qualys and complements discovery of their users, files and applications with a detection-and-response approach.
• Compliance support: Continuous posture monitoring supports your compliance efforts across SaaS applications.

“Forgotten admin rights”: A security team connects its SaaS platforms to SSPM and discovers that users who changed roles still hold administrator privileges, while some files are shared far more widely than necessary. Privileges are tightened, risky settings are fixed and an alert rule is put in place for similar cases.
