Valence Security
Valence Security provides a platform for securing third-party Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) integrations and interconnectivity across enterprise environments.
- Discovery and mapping of SaaS-to-SaaS integrations and third-party connections
- Risk assessment for SaaS integrations, OAuth grants, Application Programming Interface (API) tokens, and service accounts (SaaS security)
- Policy-based governance and remediation workflows for SaaS connectivity risks
- Visibility into data access, permissions, and exposure created by SaaS integrations (data security)
- Support for security, IT, and application owners to manage SaaS supply chain risk (third-party risk management)
More About Valence Security
Valence Security focuses on security for SaaS-to-SaaS integrations and connectivity, addressing how third-party applications, extensions, and services connect into core enterprise SaaS platforms. Its platform is designed for security teams, IT, and application owners that need to manage the security posture of an expanding SaaS ecosystem, where integrations are often installed and authorized outside traditional change-control processes.
The company’s offering centers on discovery and visualization of SaaS interconnections. It maps integrations, OAuth applications, API keys, service accounts, automations, and other machine-to-machine relationships that link external vendors and tools into core business applications. This discovery provides an inventory of third-party access into SaaS environments and helps organizations understand trust relationships that are not always visible in conventional identity and access management (IAM) or endpoint tooling.
On top of this visibility layer, Valence Security provides risk assessment capabilities that evaluate integrations based on permissions, data access, configuration, and usage context. The platform analyzes scopes and privileges granted via OAuth and similar authorization mechanisms, helping identify over-privileged or unused integrations. This aligns its offering with categories such as SaaS security posture management (SSPM), Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), and data security, with a focus on the connectivity layer rather than only user accounts.
Valence Security includes governance and remediation workflows that allow teams to set policies for acceptable SaaS connectivity, review and approve integrations, and decommission or restrict risky connections. These workflows are intended to integrate into existing enterprise Security Operations (SecOps) and IT processes, supporting collaboration between security teams, application owners, and business units. The platform can be positioned alongside other cloud and SaaS security tools, with a scope that emphasizes SaaS supply chain and integration risk.
From a technical perspective, Valence Security works with common SaaS APIs and authorization frameworks such as OAuth and related token-based access models. By focusing on the configuration and authorization layer for third-party apps and services, it provides data that can complement identity governance, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), SSPM, and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) deployments. In directories and marketplaces, Valence Security fits into SaaS security, cloud application security, and TPRM categories, with a specific emphasis on managing SaaS-to-SaaS connectivity and the associated data access paths.
