Wing Security has launched “Essential SSPM,” a SaaS Security Posture Management tool, offering SaaS discovery, risk assessment, and user access review in a freemium model. The tool aims to simplify the process of securing SaaS usage and aligns with regulatory security standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC. It allows organizations to discover, assess risk, and control SaaS applications to ensure data security. Users can try the limited free version and upgrade for more security capabilities.
