SaaS Discovery is a critical part of SaaS Security Posture Management, which deals with identifying all SaaS applications, files, and users in a company. This process provides details on IT-approved and shadow IT applications, sensitive file sharing, and users access and permissions. With SaaS discovery, Organizations can uncover their security issues related to unauthorized access to data or sensitive information.
Ultimately, SaaS Discovery provides the organization with a comprehensive view of the SaaS environment. This level of transparency is required in order to carry out risk assessment and implement remediation activities regarding permission changes, protection of sensitive data, or aligning SaaS usage with policies and compliance requirements.
