About SaaS Detection and Response

Qualys SaaS Detection and Response (SaaSDR) expands the capabilities of the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform to help enterprises with the security and compliance of their SaaS applications. It provides the IT admins with a single console to connect to their critical SaaS applications, manage them centrally, secure data on critical cloud apps, and help maintain their compliance posture. It is a tool for IT admins to manage SaaS application sprawl effectively.

SaaS Detection and Response (SaaSDR) provides continuous visibility into SaaS applications across your organization. It identifies managed and unmanaged SaaS apps, detects shadow IT, and helps reduce risk from over-permissioned users, risky OAuth apps, and data exposure.

SaaSDR includes two complementary capabilities. SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) continuously monitors the security configuration of your sanctioned SaaS applications, such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, and Dropbox, against industry benchmarks and compliance frameworks, including CIS, SCuBA, and NIST. SSPM detects configuration drift, enforces policy controls, and provides prioritized remediation guidance to maintain a hardened SaaS posture at all times.

Using integrations with identity providers and SaaS platforms, SaaSDR delivers unified visibility and actionable risk insights across both posture management and threat detection, giving security teams a single platform to govern SaaS configuration, identity risk, and application behavior.

With SaaSDR, you can view all your resources, such as files and folders, third-party applications, and meetings identified from the scanned SaaS applications

You can also view policy controls to monitor your compliance posture and perform actions on existing reports.

You can refer to the use case-based SaaS Detection and Response Product Tours.

The following are the benefits of SaaSDR :

• Provide a single console for IT admins to secure their data, no matter where it is centrally.
• Get a consolidated view of external users who have access to internal documents and internal users who are sharing documents externally
• Get visibility into documents that are exposed and take steps to make them private
• Get visibility into apps that have given access to sensitive data and take steps to alert and block them
• Understand the compliance posture of your critical SaaS applications to ensure that they pass industry-standard benchmarks. Currently, we support the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark v3.0.0.
