Explanation

SSPM (SaaS Security Posture Management) is correct because it is purpose-built to evaluate and remediate misconfigurations in SaaS application administrative settings. It benchmarks configurations against security best practices and provides guided recommendations - exactly what an IT team unfamiliar with new applications needs to establish a secure baseline.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• D. SaaS Security (the most tempting distractor) focuses on data security, threat prevention, and visibility into data flowing through SaaS apps - not on auditing administrative configurations. It's about what's in the apps, not how they're configured.
• A. IoT Security protects Internet of Things devices (cameras, sensors, printers) on the network - completely unrelated to SaaS administration.
• B. Prisma SD-WAN is a wide-area networking solution for branch connectivity - a network infrastructure product, not a SaaS security tool.

Memory tip: Break down the acronym - SSPM = SaaS Security Posture Management. "Posture" is the clue: whenever a question mentions settings, misconfigurations, or not knowing best practices for SaaS apps, SSPM is the answer. If the question is about data or threats inside SaaS, think SaaS Security/CASB instead.
