The explosion of productivity tools have seen users flock to SaaS apps for tasks like sales automation, marketing automation, document signature, etc.  Employees are finding solutions to help them accomplish the mundane in less time.  Unfortunately, they oftentimes bypass IT in the process making it hard for IT professionals to keep their data secure.  How do you know what you don’t know?  You have to have tools in place to manage the increasing decentralization of the IT function.

An SSPM service (Security Policy and Permissions Management service) is a type of cloud-based security solution that helps organizations manage and enforce their security policies across their IT infrastructure. This service typically includes a set of tools and features that enable organizations to define, manage, and automate security policies, access controls, and permissions across their cloud and on-premises environments.

An SSPM service typically provides a centralized console or dashboard that allows organizations to manage their security policies across multiple platforms and applications. It also includes features such as role-based access controls, automated policy enforcement, and compliance reporting to help organizations maintain the security and compliance of their IT infrastructure.

SSPM is an essential tool for organizations that need to maintain a strong security posture and ensure the protection of their sensitive data and assets in today’s complex and constantly evolving threat landscape.

The top 5 reasons why every organization NEEDS and SSPM solution:

  1. Simplify and automate security policy management: With an SSPM solution, an enterprise can simplify and automate the management of its security policies across its IT infrastructure. This can help reduce the workload on IT staff and ensure that security policies are consistently applied and enforced across the organization.
  2. Ensure compliance with regulations and standards: An SSPM solution can help an enterprise ensure compliance with industry regulations and standards, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. These regulations require organizations to have proper security policies in place to protect sensitive data, and an SSPM solution can help ensure that these policies are enforced.
  3. Reduce security risks: By managing permissions and access control policies effectively, an SSPM solution can help reduce the risk of security breaches and data leaks. It can ensure that users have the right level of access to data and resources based on their roles and responsibilities, and prevent unauthorized access attempts.
  4. Increase operational efficiency: An SSPM solution can streamline the process of granting and revoking access rights to users and applications, reducing the workload on IT staff and enabling them to focus on more strategic tasks. This can lead to increased operational efficiency and cost savings.
  5. Provide visibility and insights: An SSPM solution can provide visibility into user access patterns and identify potential security risks, enabling proactive measures to be taken to prevent security incidents before they occur. It can also provide valuable insights into user behavior and help organizations make more informed decisions about their security policies.

Overall, an SSPM solution can help enterprises manage their security policies more effectively, reduce security risks, ensure compliance with regulations and standards, increase operational efficiency, and provide valuable insights and visibility into their security posture.
