Grip’s partner program equips leading cybersecurity providers with tools, training, and support to deliver complete SaaS security solutions to customers. Partners gain exclusive access to the SaaS IdentityRisk Assessment to quickly demonstrate the hidden risks of unmanaged applications and user identities. This proactive assessment highlights dormant accounts, overlooked SaaS-to-SaaS connections, and other identity-related vulnerabilities that pose significant threats. Through strategic collaboration, Grip’s partners can help enterprises establish a sustainable SaaS security posture and fully harness the advantages of decentralized SaaS.
As part of this partnership, GuidePoint and Grip will continue collaborating on joint sales and marketing initiatives to raise awareness of safe, identity-centric SaaS security.
