There are three main challenges that have arisen stemming from this evolution: While SaaS apps include a host of native security settings, they need to be hardened by the security team of the organization.

Employees are granting 3rd party app access to core SaaS apps that pose potential threats to the company.

The complexity of securing SaaS apps is only increased by the fact that often the SaaS app owner sits outside the security team, in the department that most uses the app - and they are untrained and not focused on the security upkeep of the app.

The security team needs the ability to correlate SaaS app users, their roles, and permissions with their associated devices' compliance and integrity levels.

That's why Gartner named SaaS Security Posture Management a MUST HAVE solution to continuously assess security risks and manage the SaaS applications' security posture in the "4 Must-Have Technologies That Made the Gartner Hype Cycle for Cloud Security, 2021." Other cloud solutions don't offer preventative coverage.

An SSPM solution, like Adaptive Shield, comes into play to enable security teams to identify, analyze, and prioritize misconfigurations as well as provide visibility to 3rd party apps with access to their core apps and Device-to-SaaS-User posture management.
