Breaking down SSPM

What is SSPM?

SSPM is the process of continuously assessing SaaS application posture to proactively identify and minimize risk while ensuring better security compliance. SSPM solutions provide automated capabilities to address misconfiguration, privilege sprawl, sensitive data exposure, and other vulnerabilities.

The combination of continuous threat detection and SSPM provide truly comprehensive SaaS security coverage.

Obsidian enables you to harden your SaaS security posture with confidence, leveraging our knowledge graph to weigh the risk of inaction against the impact of any change.
