What is SSPM (SaaS Security Posture Management)?

Continuously checking the settings, permissions and connected apps of SaaS platforms such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, so risky misconfigurations are found and fixed before an attacker uses them.

Most business data now lives in SaaS platforms, and each one has hundreds of settings: who can share outside the company, which apps can connect, which accounts are admins. A single wrong setting can expose far more than any one laptop.

SSPM watches those settings over time rather than checking them once. It looks for drift, such as a sharing rule loosened for a project and never put back, and for connected apps that hold more access than their job needs.

AI agents and copilots make this harder. They live inside SaaS platforms, connect to other apps through OAuth and can reach data across all of them, so posture now has to include what each agent can reach.

What SSPM looks at

  • Sharing settings that open files or sites to everyone
  • Connected apps and their permissions, including app-to-app access
  • Admin accounts and settings that changed without a reason

How Centeye handles it

Centeye Synthwatch (early access) secures the agents and copilots inside your SaaS platforms, governs the AI apps connected through OAuth, and traces app-to-app access before one compromised app reaches the next.
