Joint Offering Ensures That Authorized Users Can Safely
Access Any SaaS App Without Exposing Companies to Unnecessary
Risks
TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Adaptive Shield, the
leading SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) company, today
announced a tech integration with Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ: OKTA), the
leading independent identity provider. Working together, the
companies will deliver businesses an integrated solution to manage
SaaS security configurations, enhance Identity and Access
Management (IAM), and strengthen governance for privileged
access.
The threat landscape for SaaS security is vast and continues to
expand as businesses rely on an increasing number of SaaS apps.
While these apps come with built-in security features, at the end
of the day, the ultimate responsibility to continuously fix
potential misconfigurations falls on the security team, which often
has no visibility into what's going on in their enterprise SaaS
stack.
The answer is SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM), which was
named one of the "4 Must-Have Technologies That Made the Gartner
Hype Cycle for Cloud Security, 2021." Adaptive Shield's solution
provides businesses continuous visibility and remediation for
potential risks in the SaaS stack caused by misconfigurations and
misappropriated privileges. Through this partnership, the companies
provide an integrated solution that manages SaaS security
configurations with deep visibility into Identity and Access
Management while introducing more stringent governance for users
with privileged access to confidential company information.
"Businesses continue to recognize the vital role that SaaS apps
play in empowering their hybrid workforce and increasing
efficiency. But asking security teams to monitor and handle
SaaS-related misconfigurations with no automated solution is
unrealistic," said Maor Bin, CEO and Co-Founder of Adaptive Shield.
"Through this integration with Okta, we deliver a seamless solution
for a fortified SaaS Security and Identity & Access
Management."
This new joint offering delivers significant benefits,
including:
Easy to Manage SaaS Security Configurations
Businesses can measure and elevate their SaaS Security posture by
automatically assessing critical misconfigurations in their SaaS
app's settings, such as measure security posture by security
domain, application, user, and compliance standard for an overall
normalized posture score and spot misconfigurations while they
occur. Adaptive Shield's SSPM also enables to benchmark against
compliance frameworks such as SOC II, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, industry
best practices (NIST, CIS), etc.
Enhanced Identity and Access Management
Implement IAM best practices, such as validation of user's access
control and authentication settings (MFA, password complexity,
etc.), validation of role-based access management (as opposed to
individual-based access), validation of access governance,
detection of configuration drifts, alignment with compliance
policies, and more.
Strengthened Governance for Privileged Access
Reduce
risk caused by over-privileged user access and streamline
user-to-app access audit reviews by gaining consolidated visibility
of a person's accounts, permissions, and privileged activities
across their SaaS estate.
"Okta is committed to creating a world where anyone can safely
use any technology. This includes SaaS-based solutions that have
become imperative to businesses as they evolve and become more
decentralized," said Austin
Arensberg, Senior Director, Okta Ventures. "Adaptive
Shield's success in eliminating the risks that come with the use of
SaaS applications aligns with our commitment to bring simple and
secure access to people and organizations everywhere."
