April 2023 Summaries

Effective SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) requires a proactive approach, continuous monitoring, and the implementation of Zero Trust security policies. Organizations should focus on access management to mitigate risks from misconfigurations, compliance issues, and over-privileged user accounts. By leveraging automation for least privilege enforcement and using authorization platforms like Veza, companies can visualize and understand effective permissions of identities, monitor continuously for access misconfigurations, and streamline governance with intelligent access reviews.

In this month's Veza Voice, we introduce powerful new risk dashboards and tiles, expanded capabilities for GCP IAM, and new Veza integrations. We are introducing the concept of "Risks" into the Veza platform to help customers continually monitor their key risk factors, set rules and policies to drive action, and shrink their attack surface over time. The Risks page provides a top-row overview of access risks across categories such as identity access, privileged access, SaaS misconfigurations, cloud IAM, and more. We also introduce Trends, which allows users to track progress on total risks or individual queries by graphing the results over a given date range. New integrations include AWS Cognito, AWS Lambda, Github Organizations, and Github Enterprise. Finally, we share tips for finding and eliminating misconfigurations in Google Groups and announce upcoming events where customers can meet the Veza team.

Veza will be participating at RSA from April 25-27th and invites attendees to join them for a networking dinner on April 25th at The Monarch San Francisco. They will also be present at Booth #23 in the ESE Expo Hall at Moscone, where they will share their identity-first approach to data security and offer personalized demos along with "Don't be a Scapegoat" swag. Attendees can use code 52FCDVEZATH for $150 off their full conference pass.

Veza, an authorization platform for identity-first security, has welcomed Gertrude "Gertie" the Goat to its Board of Advisors. Gertie is a veteran CISO and seasoned security professional who brings extensive experience and knowledge to the team. She will work closely with Veza's leadership to provide insights into the needs of CISOs and help them innovate their solutions in response to the evolving security landscape. Gertie believes that Veza has the potential to empower CISOs and security teams everywhere by giving them granular insight into permissions at the data level and automating identity and access best practices.
