Overview
Traditional security architectures struggle with modern SaaS and Gen AI based threats while dealing with a hybrid workforce. A structured
approach to managing & securing SaaS apps is critical to regaining control and ensuring compliance.
The Problem
Existing SASE and SSPM solutions fall short in handling SaaS Sprawl
Access Vulnerabilities
Access with Magic links and OTPs bypass SSO. Add-on installs from App marketplaces in super apps like Slack, Zoom, bypass device controls. Browser extensions based app deployment evade IT oversight.
Usage Complications
Weak or lack of RBAC for Agentic apps and prompts compromises security. Attackers exploit SaaS accounts as entry points or to move laterally within an organization.
Data Exposure & Compliance Risks
Unauthorized or unsanctioned SaaS apps lead to untracked data storage and sharing, increasing exposure to breaches. Inadequate oversight of sensitive data can result in non-compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS. Sensitive data shared with SaaS, Gen AI, and Agentic apps.

How it works
Frequently asked questions
Secure SaaS Access refers to the processes, technologies, and policies that ensure secure and seamless access to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. It involves protecting user identities, enforcing access controls, and monitoring activity to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches, while maintaining optimal user experience.
A Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is a security solution that protects users from online threats by monitoring and filtering web traffic. It enforces policies to block malicious websites, prevent data leaks, and ensure compliance. While effective for traditional web traffic, SWGs often struggle with modern SaaS-specific challenges, such as visibility and app-specific controls.
SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) is a solution designed to monitor and secure SaaS applications by identifying misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance issues. However, it often fails to control SaaS sprawl because:
Decentralized Adoption: Employees adopt SaaS tools without IT approval.
Dynamic Ecosystem: Rapid onboarding of new apps makes it hard to track all tools.
Limited Coverage: SSPM tools focus on configuration management rather than discovering shadow SaaS.
SWGs can introduce errors and outages due to:
Latency Issues: Processing web traffic through a gateway adds delay.
Complex Policies: Misconfigurations in traffic policies can block legitimate traffic.
Incompatibility: Some SaaS apps may not function correctly when routed through an SWG.
These issues can disrupt business operations and frustrate users.
SWGs require extensive setup and maintenance, including:
Policy Management: Creating and maintaining comprehensive policies.
Scalability: Supporting large user bases and high web traffic.
Specialized Expertise: Demanding skilled personnel for proper operation.
High Costs: Licensing fees, hardware, and ongoing management costs.
These factors make SWGs both resource-intensive and costly.
An endpoint-based approach secures SaaS apps directly on user devices, offering:
Granular Controls: Enforcing security policies based on user behavior and context.
Reduced Complexity: Eliminating the need for traffic rerouting through gateways.
Improved User Experience: Ensuring seamless access without introducing latency.
Scalability: Adapting easily to the organization's growth and device diversity.
DNS-based solutions provide basic domain-level filtering but fall short in:
Granularity: Lacking app-specific controls and visibility.
Dynamic Nature of SaaS: Struggling to keep up with rapidly changing app behaviors and subdomains.
Limited Threat Detection: Focusing only on DNS requests and missing broader attack vectors.
For comprehensive SaaS security, more advanced solutions with deep app-level visibility and controls are required.
The key risks of SaaS sprawl usage include:
Data Leakage: Unauthorized sharing or exposure of sensitive information.
Shadow IT: Use of unapproved SaaS apps outside IT oversight.
Access Mismanagement: Improper user permissions leading to breaches.
Compliance Issues: Difficulty in maintaining regulatory standards with SaaS sprawl.
