separate

Secures SaaS apps (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Slack) via CASB/SSPM deployment, conditional access policies, OAuth app governance, and session-level DLP controls enforcing identity verification and device compliance. Use when adding MFA/device-compliance conditional access, discovering shadow IT, governing OAuth consent grants, or applying session controls to sensitive SaaS data.

When to use

• When securing access to SaaS applications (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Slack)
• When implementing conditional access policies requiring MFA and device compliance for SaaS
• When deploying CASB for shadow IT discovery and unsanctioned app blocking
• When enforcing session-level controls (DLP, download restrictions) for sensitive SaaS data
• When governing OAuth application permissions and detecting excessive consent grants

When not to use

• Replacement for SaaS-native security controls
• Applications with no SAML/OIDC support
• SaaS vendors that do not support API integration for CASB/SSPM
