Organizations and their employees are using hundreds of SaaS applications every day, and these applications are decentralized and mostly ungoverned. They are rife with shadow IT, and they are increasing the attack surface enormously.
Your supply chain is your new attack surface, according to Galit Lubetzky Sharon, the co-founder and CEO of Wing Security. Wing provides a solution – Secure SaaS Posture Management, or SSPM, that helps organizations ensure that all of their SaaS apps are safe and compliant.
In this episode of CyberEd.io‘s podcast series “Cybersecurity Insights,” Lubetzky Sharon discussed:
- How SSPM provides an essential security layer by discovering a company’s applications, prioritizing them and providing controls for access and permissions by allowing an organization to “define and customize an automatic workflow”;
- The difference between SSPM, which is application-centric, and DSPM, or data security posture management, which is cloud-centric;
- How organizations can use SSPM to automatically shut down an application that is not safe because “modern organizations can’t afford to invest time in solutions that are not automated.”
