iboss launches AI-powered SaaS Security Posture Management to cut hidden SaaS risk
SaaS now holds your sensitive data, not your data center. iboss is introducing an AI-powered SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) capability inside its Zero Trust SASE platform to expose misconfigurations, right-size permissions, and reduce breach risk across the apps your teams use every day.
For managers, this means a clearer picture of where risk is creeping in, fewer point tools to juggle, and faster, evidence-backed decisions on what to fix next.
Why this matters
As work moves into Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Box, Salesforce, and similar platforms, admins face thousands of settings, constant change, and fragmented consoles. Manual checks can't keep pace, which lets risky sharing, excessive access, and third-party connections stack up unnoticed.
The result: higher odds of account takeover, data leakage, and audit findings. A continuous, AI-driven read on SaaS posture closes that gap and supports Zero Trust adoption. If you're formalizing Zero Trust, NIST's model is a useful reference point here.
How iboss SSPM works
Through the iboss Integration Marketplace, teams connect SSPM to supported SaaS apps in a few guided steps. No new agents. Once connected, iboss uses native APIs to continuously collect configuration, permission, and sharing metadata.
Built-in AI analyzes that data with the context of common SaaS pitfalls and usage patterns. It flags exposure drivers, explains why they matter, and prioritizes what to fix based on impact and likelihood.
What leaders get
An SSPM Insight Overview dashboard rolls everything up into a single posture score across all connected apps. It shows where risk is concentrated, what's moving the score, and which actions will make the biggest difference-backed by AI-generated evidence.
Each application also has its own detailed view. Admins can drill into tenants, review specific settings, and use workflows to mark issues as in progress, resolved, or accepted with clear rationale. Policies for user access can be informed by real-time posture signals, tying Zero Trust decisions to how apps are actually configured.
Key capabilities at a glance
- API-based integrations: Connect major SaaS apps via the iboss Integration Marketplace without deploying new agents.
- Continuous assessment: Pull configuration, permissions, and other relevant metadata on a regular cadence for each connected app.
- AI-driven findings and priority: Detect misconfigurations, excessive access, risky sharing, and similar issues-and sort them by impact and likelihood.
- Unified Insight Overview: See an overall SaaS posture score with clear explanations for score changes and recommended actions.
- App-specific dashboards: Get per-application scores, findings, and guided next steps, plus workflows to track remediation.
- Actionable workflows: Assign owners, track progress, close findings, or accept defined risk-so teams focus where it matters most.
Impact for executives and teams
Executives and finance leaders gain a predictable way to understand SaaS exposure, prioritize investment, and demonstrate ongoing governance to boards, auditors, and regulators. The consolidated score and evidence make reporting straightforward.
Security and IT teams save hours on manual data collection and move faster on the highest-value fixes. Emerging issues are flagged continuously, so focus shifts from chasing alerts to improving posture.
Leadership perspective
"Organizations have made major investments in SaaS, but most still have very limited visibility into how those applications are actually configured and where silent risk is building up," said Paul Martini, CEO of iboss. "With SSPM, iboss uses AI to translate complex SaaS settings into clear, prioritized actions, so security and IT teams can continuously reduce exposure, align with Zero Trust principles, and demonstrate real governance over the SaaS platforms that run their business with AI-powered clarity and speed."
Move this forward
Set a target posture score, connect your highest-risk SaaS tenants first, and assign owners for remediation. Review AI-backed recommendations weekly, close the top-impact items, and report score movement and evidence to leadership.
