Shadow SaaS refers to unapproved or unmonitored software applications used within an organization, adopted by employees outside of IT knowledge. These apps bypass traditional security measures, leaving sensitive data vulnerable to breaches and compliance violations.
Identifying shadow SaaS requires a tool like the Grip SSCP, which can map and track SaaS usage without disrupting employee productivity. Solutions like Grip provide visibility into all SaaS applications, ensuring you know what’s operating in your environment.
The first step is gaining full visibility into all SaaS applications in use, both approved and unapproved. Once identified, you can assess the risks associated with each app, revoke unauthorized access, prioritize for SSO, and implement other controls to secure your SaaS environment.
Shadow SaaS can create significant compliance challenges, as unmonitored apps may violate regulatory standards. Shadow applications also present security risks, as they often have access to sensitive data but fall outside of identity and access management protocols, making them prime targets for attackers.
