Gartner®: 6 Steps for Securing Access to SaaS Using the Security Service Edge

"New and newly prioritized SaaS applications must be integrated into your SSE platform to prevent gaps in visibility and control." as stated in the Gartner® report.

To ensure digital security, integrating new SaaS applications with your SSE platform is crucial. We believe Gartner® highlights this as key to maintaining governance and oversight. As SaaS becomes more prevalent, the risk of cyber threats grows, necessitating strong protective measures. In our opinion, SSE stands out in this report as a comprehensive defense system for SaaS applications, offering extensive visibility and unwavering control.

In this report, we feel Gartner® delivers valuable insights on how Security Service Edge (SSE) is equipped with a control plane that is a force of protection for SaaS applications. Here are some of the key recommendations from the report:

  • Understand the scope of your SaaS applications by using existing and proof-of-concept (POC) tools to establish the extent of your SaaS estate.
  • Select SSE and adjacent security tools by establishing an effective POC process targeting your critical SaaS applications and business outcomes.
  • Protect your most business-critical SaaS applications first by starting a phased SSE deployment that focuses on these applications.
  • Extend your SaaS protection by ensuring you have a continuous discovery process and contact with application owners embedded in the business.
  • Phase in new and existing SaaS applications by using a risk-based prioritization on when they will be protected by your SSE.
  • Iterate over continuous discovery and phase in new SaaS applications while using the risk scores from SSE platforms to help guide the business to less risky SaaS apps where possible.
