Why External SaaS Identification is Critical
Complete Attack Surface Visibility
Organizations often have a complex web of SaaS applications, many of which may be adopted by individual departments or teams without central IT oversight. External identification tools help uncover these "shadow IT" services, ensuring that no potential entry points for attackers are missed.
Risk Assessment and Prioritization
Each SaaS service presents unique risks based on its function, data sensitivity, and integration with other systems. By identifying all services, you can accurately assess the overall risk exposure and prioritize security measures based on potential impact.
Third Party Risk Management
Many SaaS services are provided by third-party vendors. Understanding which vendors your organization relies on is crucial for assessing their security practices and ensuring they meet your organization's risk tolerance.
Compliance and Regulatory Requirements
Various regulations and industry-specific standards, mandate that organizations have a clear understanding of their data processing activities, including which third-party vendors are involved.
