## What the models said for it

- "Integrated with SASE/CASB for inline security." (Grok 4.1 Fast, SSPM)

## And against it

- "Netskope, Zscaler ZIA, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Cisco Cloudlock / Skyhigh, Palo Alto Prisma SaaS all have SSPM-shaped posture features... less a pure SSPM play" (Muse Glimmer 30B, SSPM)
- "High setup and tuning complexity, no contextual user data leading to higher false-positive rate, and pull-based architecture limits scalability" (Claude Haiku 4.5, SSPM)
- "While legacy vendors like Zscaler and Netskope still hold relevance, specialized "SSPM-native" vendors currently lead in depth and accuracy." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, SSPM)
