Companies who have adopted SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) are faring better than those
using other tools such as CASB, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), and SASE, among
others, for securing the SaaS stack.

Organizations that reported using SSPM as their SaaS security strategy enablers show a marked
improvement in their ability to scale and monitor a larger portion of their SaaS stack, the report notes.

Those using SSPM are more than twice as likely to have full visibility into their SaaS stack — 62% of
these organizations are able to oversee over 75% of their SaaS environment compared to those who
utilize other tools and manual processes in their strategy (31%).

SSPM users were also more likely to find key SaaS Security tasks to be easy, while non-SSPM users
found them to be very hard.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the CSA says the survey demonstrates a positive momentum in SaaS security strategy. In
particular, the integration of SSPM emerges as a factor in enabling an organization's SaaS security.

The survey highlights the importance of revisiting and refining SaaS security strategies within
organizations to include tools that specifically address SaaS security, thus reducing the likelihood of a
SaaS security incident in the future.
