Grip Extend: Strengthen User Security Across All SaaS

Identity is the cornerstone of enterprise security. Organizations invest heavily in identity controls like SSO, MFA, and lifecycle management, but these only secure apps under direct management. The reality is, unmanaged SaaS, including shadow SaaS, sits outside these controls, leaving dangerous gaps in visibility and governance.

Employees unknowingly expose corporate identities by:

• Reusing or sharing passwords
• Failing to enable MFA
• Logging into risky or unauthorized apps

These identity hygiene issues are prime targets for attackers and can lead to account compromise, credential theft, or broader breaches.

Introducing Grip Extend

Grip Extend is a lightweight browser extension that extends security controls to every SaaS app—not just the ones tied to your IdP. It provides deep visibility and real-time user engagement, empowering security teams to detect risk and guide user behavior right from the browser.

Seamlessly integrated with the Grip SaaS Security Control Plane, Grip Extend turns the browser into a point of defense, not just a point of access. Whether it’s preventing the use of a reused password, flagging the absence of multi-factor authentication (MFA), or identifying the use of unauthorized apps, GripExtend transforms passive oversight into active identity protection.

How Grip Extend Works

Grip Extend gives security teams a powerful new lens into SaaS usage and identity hygiene. Delivered through a browser extension, it:

• Tracks SaaS activity like app usage, lack of MFA, and stale accounts
• Detects credential hygiene risks like reused, weak, or shared passwords
• Engages users in real time with prompts and guidance to correct risky behavior‍
• Integrates natively with Grip’s centralized SaaS Security Control Plane

Identity Risks Grip Extend Mitigates

Reused Passwords

If users reuse credentials across apps, a breach in one can lead to compromise in others through credential stuffing. Grip Extend surfaces this risk so teams can enforce password policies and drive adoption of password managers.

‍

Shared Accounts

Shared credentials reduce traceability and increase exposure. Grip Extend detects account sharing, exposing which users and apps are involved, enabling tighter access controls.

Weak Passwords

Weak credentials are easy targets for attackers. Grip Extend identifies weak password usage across SaaS apps so teams can require stronger ones.

Top Vulnerable Identities

Grip Extend highlights users with the highestidentity risk—those using weak, reused, or leaked credentials—so security teamscan prioritize outreach and remediation.
