Managing GenAI Riskswith SSPM
The GenAI revolution risks in SaaS environments
What is GenAI Security Posture Management in the World of SaaS?
The workforce is rapidly adopting SaaS applications with GenAI to increase efficiency, including AI apps such as GitHub Copilot, Salesforce Einstein, and Microsoft 365 Copilot. While increasing automation and improving productivity, the use of GenAI introduces new risks including data leakage, attack surface expansion, new areas of exploitation, and privacy concerns, as well as new challenges to meet compliance and government requirements.
Automate GenAI Security
Security posture management for AI SaaS applications or AI configurations involves continuous monitoring and risk management. An SSPM solution alerts users to any security drifts and provides step-by-step remediation, enabling the app owner and security team to collaborate and resolve issues. A crucial part of this process includes detecting AI shadow apps adopted by users and discovering interconnected GenAI applications while calculating risk based on their requested scopes.
