Onboard a Webex App to SSPM
Connect a Webex instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Webex instance, you must onboard your Webex
instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Webex using
administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Webex
instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM
suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
SSPM gets access to your Webex instance by using Okta SSO credentials that you provide during the
onboarding process. For this reason, your organization must be using Okta as an
identity provider. The Okta account must be configured for multi-factor
authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.
To onboard your Webex instance, you complete the following actions:
