Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about Wing’s SSPM solution by exploring some of these commonly asked questions
What is SSPM?
SSPM, or SaaS Security Posture Management solutions help organizations regain control over highly popular SaaS usage, which would otherwise remain completely decentralized and ungoverned. SSPM ensures that SaaS is used safely and in a way that doesn’t compromise compliance, sensitive data, or security posture.
How do you discover applications and users?
We have multiple methods to discover applications and users, all of which do not require the installation of an agent or proxy. We utilize OAuth to connect with core business applications such as Google, Slack, Office 365, Salesforce, GitHub/GitLab, Atlassian, and more. Additionally, we can query endpoints and analyze browser history, as well as installed browser extensions to identify application usage. Furthermore, we can connect to your email address to uncover even more applications. Our SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) methods ensure efficient discovery of SaaS Security, and Cyber Security-related information.
Is my data safe? Where is it stored?
Absolutely! Wing is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 compliant, ensuring the highest standards of data security. Your data is securely stored in the AWS US-East region, providing advanced SaaS security protection.
What makes Wing Security different from other tools that detect Shadow IT?
Wing Security offers a holistic, low-touch SaaS security solution that provides full visibility and control across the organization’s SaaS ecosystem, helping mid-market security teams minimize attack surfaces, improve security posture, and proactively detect and respond to threats.
Unlike others, Wing includes built-in remediation, allowing teams to address risks with minimal effort through automated or manual processes. With its comprehensive approach, Wing simplifies SaaS security life-cycle management, ensuring data is secured and configurations are correctly managed for CISOs.
Is this application whitelisting?
No, it is not. As an SSPM, we recognize the importance of SaaS applications in driving business growth and our goal is to ensure their safe usage rather than implementing restrictive whitelisting measures.
How quickly will I see value?
With Wing’s SSPM solution, you will start experiencing value within minutes. During our initial meeting, we can significantly reduce your SaaS attack surface without disrupting user productivity or existing workflows.
Will this cause friction between IT, Security, and other teams?
Absolutely not. Your engineers and sales teams can continue with their jobs as usual. Wing’s SaaS security solution takes care of cleaning up risky or unnecessary SaaS applications on an ongoing basis without creating any animosity.
What kind of support do you provide?
As a valued customer, you will be assigned a dedicated engineer and customer success manager who will be available to assist you as frequently as needed. They will address your feature requests, connector requests, and guide you through the customer journey. Think of them as an extension of your security team, always there to support your SaaS security and SSPM needs.
