There is often confusion between Cloud Access Security Brokers and SaaS Security Posture Management solutions, as both are designed to address security issues within SaaS applications.

When it comes to getting full visibility and control over the organization's SaaS apps, an SSPM solution would be the better choice, as the security team can easily onboard apps and get value in minutes - from the immediate configuration assessment to its ongoing and continuous monitoring.

According to our2021 SaaS Security Survey Report only 12% of companies said they are able to check for SaaS misconfigurations weekly.

Employees with admin access or privileges can leave a company exposed, as they are untrained in security matters and more focused on their productivity, making it crucial for SaaS apps to be configured correctly and regularly monitored by the organization's security team.

A SaaS Security Posture Management solution, like Adaptive Shield, is critical to the security of today's enterprise.

With its ability to effectively manage this chaotic SaaS environment, SSPM can continuously assess and manage the security risk and posture of SaaS apps and prevent configuration errors and advanced attacks.
