For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Coveo instance, you must onboard your Coveo instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM connects to a Coveo API and, through the API, scans your Coveo instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
To access your Coveo instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.
