Ever since you started at your new company, you have heard about a mythical SaaS application that the current IT team only heard stories about from the marketing team and former employees. A new CEO just took the helm at your company and wants to know about this fabled SaaS application (or applications) and figure out the many extraneous expenditures unaccounted for in the budget. In trying to track down this legendary SaaS application, some senior IT employees mentioned that the marketing team used to have "something" that they used to share materials but are unsure if it is still in use. Another recent employee said they saw a SaaS application branded with the company's logo but wasn't sure if it was theirs. The security team mentioned a bad actor recently tried to trick the company's previous CEO into divulging confidential financial information through a look-a-like SaaS URL. The security team caught the phishing attempt in time, but not sure if that look-a-like site still exists or if anyone detected more look-a-like sites. Searching brings more speculation and confusion about what you are "in search of."

Only if there was a solution that would allow you an easy way to discover and quantify all these mythical SaaS applications? Here’s the answer: ThreatNG's SaaSqwatch (Software-as-a-Service Quantification and Watch). 

ThreatNG's SaaSqwatch capabilities look to identify SaaS applications and vanity URLs that the organization may use. Discovery is performed from the outside-in, meaning anyone with an internet connection can see them, making the hardening and securing of SaaS applications more critical. ThreatNG discovers some of the most popular and frequently used SaaS applications. By monitoring and profiling from the outside, ThreatNG can immediately inventory sanctioned, unsanctioned (Shadow IT), look-alike (SaaSquatting) SaaS applications to manage risk, attack surface, and expenditures.

Unlike other solutions that claim to discover SaaS applications, ThreatNG discovers without the use of any of the following:

• API Connections to Data Sources

• Agents

• Browser Extensions

• SSO, CASB, and Mobile Device Management Platforms

• Financial Systems and Network Traffic

This unique approach to SaaS discovery allows us to get an accurate picture of your company’s SaaS applications and overall digital presence.  Chat with us to learn how ThreatNG's SaaSqwatch can help secure your digital presence.
