Use cases
Savvy enables you to harness the productivity and innovation benefits of SaaS while closing security visibility and control gaps.
SaaS Sprawl
Savvy uncovers the chaos created by rampant SaaS sprawl and provides the visibility required for making informed decisions and gaining control over these apps. By monitoring users’ access to SaaS apps in real-time, and cross-referencing with data from identity providers (IdPs), cloud workspaces, and Savvy’s SaaS Inventory for data enrichment, Savvy provides the most accurate data about the workforce’s use of SaaS apps and valuable insights including use of unsanctioned apps, SaaS app security risk, and more. This visibility enables the security team to prioritize their efforts and define security automation playbooks that alert users about potential risks and suggest alternatives. The extreme visibility provided by Savvy also enables security pros to resolve incidents faster.
User Offboarding
Ensure sensitive data remains secure when employees and contractors move or leave using automated offboarding workflows. Savvy continuously maintains an inventory of the accounts your workforce is creating for accessing various SaaS apps. It also monitors for sensitive data being stored in apps so that you can identify the most critical apps to offboard when a user exits.
Shadow Identity Risks
Savvy continuously discovers all the accounts your workforce is creating for accessing various SaaS apps, whether managed or unmanaged. This includes accounts that users have forgotten about, or those that are no longer in use. Savvy shows the authentication methods, missing MFA, direct logins (vs. SSO), weak or shared credentials, and cases in which employees use corporate credentials for accessing personal apps. This enables SecOps teams to eliminate security gaps, ensure the safe use of SaaS , and verify that former employees are fully offboarded.
Corporate Identity Risks
Users may unknowingly compromise their corporate identity by using weak, reused, or compromised credentials. Savvy detects if the integrity of the corporate identity has been weakened and can automate its reset to restore the security for the identity and eliminate the risk of some of the most common identity-based attacks.
Identity Hygiene
Savvy monitors for and automates the remediation of misused and risky identities, such as reused, compromised, or weak credentials. It also detects if SSO and MFA is being used on an identity and can guide the user to enable those options if configured. You can choose to initiate a guided interactive workflow so the user can remediate the issue on their own, or you can execution actions on the account via cloud-based APIs.
SaaS Supply Chain Risks
Savvy discovers how your third-party applications are connected, permissions these integrations have and who granted them, and any dormant OAuth grants that should be revoked. It enables security professionals to define automation playbooks that minimize the risk of new integrations, guiding the users on the required steps. Savvy lists the risks introduced by app-to-app connections so you can quickly decide if the integration is desired. It also helps you map the integrations so in the case of a third-party breach you can quickly find all the apps and resources that might be compromised, enabling the security team to decide how to contain the event quickly.
Generative AI Risks
Savvy monitors the usage of ChatGPT and other powerful Generative AI tools, enabling security teams to define how they should be used and prevent sensitive data exposure. Savvy’s just-in-time security guardrails can alert users of risky actions and enforce effective controls that limit usage without entirely blocking users. For example, when a user tries to submit sensitive data, Savvy will alert them to the risk. If the user wants to proceed, Savvy will ensure that they turn off the chat history to prevent using the conversation to train ChatGPT models. Savvy can also prevent using corporate credentials to avert the association of prompts with the company.
Compliance
Savvy provides a complete audit trail of all user activities and events within SaaS applications to simplify the evidence-gathering process and speed up audits. Savvy keeps an inventory of those used by your workforce and categorizes them to help SecOps quickly understand what types of apps are in use and by which departments. It helps you quickly identify apps like developer tools or infrastructure management tools often in the scope of audit reviews. Savvy’s security automation playbooks can automate review processes by sending periodic reports for management review and sign-off. They can also be used to remediate non-compliant SaaS apps or revoke users’ access to sensitive data automatically when it is no longer needed.
SaaS Data Sprawl
Savvy fills the gaps left by network-based DLP technologies to eliminate the risk of data loss via SaaS without impacting user productivity. By monitoring any data-related activities, Savvy alerts the user to potential exposure of sensitive data, providing suggestive guidance on better options. This includes attempts to upload files, copying-pasting sensitive data from/to a SaaS interface, or attempts to expose proprietary data like source code.Savvy applies security guardrails just before the data is sent to the app, using out-of-the-box (or customized) automation playbooks to prevent the loss, leakage, and misuse of sensitive company data over SaaS apps.
