Microsoft to Transform its Cloud Access Security Broker to SaaS Security Solution

Microsoft Security team shifts from the traditional scope of cloud access security brokers (CASBs) to a comprehensive SaaS security solution to deliver complete protection for SaaS apps. This new approach indicates new investments in advanced threat protection as part of Microsoft’s extended detection and response (XDR) solution, app-to-app protection and SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM).

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is expanding its SSPM capabilities to some of the common, yet critical apps organizations use like Salesforce, Okta, Microsoft 365 and more.

While CASBs have been an instrumental tool to address SaaS security needs, with an increase in app usage along with employees accessing resources outside of the company peripheral has increase the chances of new attack vectors.

Here’s where Defender for Cloud Apps helps address these new attacks across protection for a more integrated approach throughout the SaaS app management lifecycle.

So, with Microsoft’s unique approach, SaaS security professionals can get started on their unique security journey!
