Manage your security posture and risk across your entire SaaS application stack

Critical SaaS applications such as Microsoft Office 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Zoom and more are now the bedrock of any modern and agile organization. However, as the business brings more and more SaaS applications online they introduce additional risk and compliance issues for security departments who have limited visibility.

While SaaS vendors are adept at securing their cloud infrastructure, IT and security teams are still responsible for securing identities, devices, passwords, stopping data leakage, and preventing insider misconduct that can lead to data exposure.

Qualys SaaS Detection and Response (SaaSDR) is an all-in-one app that goes beyond other SaaS Security and Posture Management solutions. By leveraging the power of the Enterprise TruRisk Platform, it streamlines and automates the entire process of managing your SaaS apps, including global settings, user privileges, licenses, files, and their security and compliance posture.

Later this year in Q3 2021, SaaSDR will leverage Qualys’ industry-leading vulnerability management solution to continuously detect, prioritize and remotely patch vulnerabilities and misconfigurations with a single click.

Get continuous visibility into your SaaS applications and fix security and compliance issues with one click. Qualys SaaSDR brings clarity and control into your SaaS stack by providing in-depth user and device visibility, data security insights, proactive posture monitoring, and automated remediation of threats – all from a single screen.

User and Device Visibility

Continuous visibility is fundamental to security. Qualys SaaSDR automatically inventories all your SaaS application users and user groups (internal and external) and the files and folders they own and can access. It also gathers detailed information on endpoints, such as an assets’ details, location, running services, installed software, and much more – all in a single, unified view.

Powerful Access Controls

SaaS deployments lack the tools to manage users and data access rights effectively. Qualys SaaSDR gives you complete control to quickly review and granularly assign the proper access levels – all from a single interface.

Data Exposure Insights

SaaS applications are a “black box” for IT and security teams. Qualys SaaSDR shines a spotlight on your SaaS applications and third-party apps so that you can immediately identify security weaknesses like incorrect permissions, at-risk files, file changes, misconfiguration issues, critical vulnerabilities, and exploits using advanced threat intelligence.

Automated Remediation

Knowing what to fix is only part of the equation. Qualys SaaSDR makes it convenient to proactively take action and ensure that only the right users access your SaaS applications and files. Custom alerts let you know as soon as critical security misconfigurations or other issues are detected. Qualys SaaSDR can automatically patch misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and threats with a single click.

Security and Compliance Posture Management

The key to protection against state-of-the-art cybersecurity attacks, like SolarWinds, is continuous detection and monitoring of security weaknesses targeted in attacks. Qualys SaaSDR provides continuous and automated security posture and configuration assessments of your SaaS applications, and enforces compliance with industry benchmarks like O365 via CIS, PCI-DSS, NIST.

Unified, Context-Based Alerts

Get real-time alerts based on the full context of the user and their endpoint to accurately determine risk. Qualys SaaSDR collects and makes use of multiple data insights to configure alerts, like user rights, device location, file changes, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, advanced threats, and much more.
