Abstract
An automated software-as-a-service (SaaS) security posture management (SSPM) system disclosed herein detects and maintains security posture for SaaS applications according to correct implementation of configuration settings. Based on detecting a previously unseen SaaS application with unknown implementation of configuration settings, the SSPM system scrapes the Internet for web content for the SaaS application and preprocesses/inputs the web content into a machine learning model to obtain predictions of correct/incorrect implementation of configuration settings as output. Based on the predictions not having sufficiently high confidence, the SSPM system obtains additional application content by logging into the SaaS application and scraping locally rendered pages therein. The application content is preprocessed/input to the machine learning model to obtain additional high confidence predictions.
