Secure Your Third-Party Applications with Purpose-Built SSPM
Mitigate risks from unsecured third-party applications by hardening configs and enforcing consistent cloud security policies.
Mitigate risks from unsecured third-party applications by hardening configs and enforcing consistent cloud security policies.
Securing your third-party application ecosystem is a shared responsibility, but native controls are not enough. Decentralized app ownership and constant configuration changes create risks like permission drift, insecure public links, and risky integrations that expose critical data. New blindspots have emerged hidden from Identity Providers (IdP) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) tools like web gateways and CASB. They fail to manage risk inside your third-party applications, between your integrations, and fail to prevent shadow IT.
To maximize SSPM benefits, follow these guidelines:
Gain full visibility into your third-party application environment, including shadow IT. With one API connection, Obsidian surfaces all managed and unmanaged apps tied to your corporate identity. Find high-risk, unfederated apps and detect 30% more shadow third-party application with our browser extension.
Monitor and enforce secure settings across your third-party application in real time. Obsidian scores configurations based on criticality according to built-in or custom policies and flags high-priority failures. Automate alerts to ticketing systems or let app owners remediate securely via role-based access.
Go beyond static analysis. Obsidian baselines third-party application behavior to detect real risk like dormant accounts accessed from unsecured networks. Build custom posture rules, automate response, and manage exceptions all within a unified interface.
Uncover and remediate privilege creep across users and integrations. The Obsidian Knowledge Graph unifies identity across third-party applications to flag weak MFA, inactive accounts, shadow admins, and overly broad scopes, human or non-human.
Track third-party application posture in real time and map controls to frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS, and NIST. Collaborate with app owners, enforce policies, and generate audit-ready reports with a single click.
It's easy to mix up SSPM, CSPM, and DSPM, but each targets unique security layers:
SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) is a solution designed to eliminate risks across your third-party application environment by continually monitoring, managing, and remediating security issues and misconfigurations. Obsidian SSPM helps organizations identify privileged accounts without proper controls, revoke dormant access, uncover shadow apps, automate compliance, and manage integration risks efficiently.
third-party application compliance is critical because non-compliance can lead to significant business losses, including reputational damage and legal consequences. In fact, there are over 33 class action lawsuits per month related to data breaches involving non-compliance. Efficient SSPM not only ensures you meet regulatory requirements but also reduces the potential impact of security incidents.
Obsidian automates third-party application compliance by allowing you to track progress against external and custom frameworks, receive real-time alerts on non-compliant app controls, automate evidence collection, and generate reports for any compliance framework within seconds. This streamlines audit preparation and reduces compliance management overhead substantially.
Third-party application misconfigurations can leave critical gaps that attackers exploit to gain unauthorized access or exfiltrate data. With more than 40 million unique permissions across third-party app solutions manual remediation isn’t scalable. One in six third-party app breaches stem from basic posture issues, such as dormant accounts or excess privileges; addressing these can prevent many security incidents.
Obsidian uncovers both sanctioned and unsanctioned apps within your organization, providing detailed insights on users, login frequency, authentication methods, and app owners. By managing this third-party application inventory, organizations can control third-party app sprawl, minimize risk from unapproved apps, and optimize business expenses.
Yes, Obsidian helps prevent third-party application configuration drift by monitoring for unauthorized or risky configuration changes across your third-party app environment. Early detection and automated remediation options eliminate potentially harmful changes, maintaining a secure and compliant third-party application posture over time.
Obsidian identifies all SaaS integrations in your environment, assigns comprehensive risk scores to each integration, and flags unapproved, new, or inactive integrations. This proactive approach allows you to quickly mitigate risks associated with third-party SaaS connections before they can be exploited.
Obsidian helps you monitor privileged accounts for proper controls such as MFA, automate workflows for risk management, revoke unnecessary access, and address privilege creep. By managing high-risk accounts, you significantly decrease the likelihood of a security breach originating from excessive or outdated permissions.
