Taking a step back and understanding the problem of SaaS discovery, Grip has developed a method that has the advantages of all the other discovery methods without the downsides.
As employees use more SaaS, there is a need for companies to identify and know what applications are being used and who is using them. This becomes especially important when there is employee turnover so that IT/security can ensure that all access to corporate and business-related SaaS is deprovisioned or at least locked so the former employee loses access.
Because SaaS is no longer just a security problem, there are multiple products on the market that are attempting to help companies discover and manage SaaS usage. Each product has a unique approach but uses one of seven standard discovery methods listed below. There are pros and cons to each of the methods. To address the shortcomings, Grip has created a new discovery method that no other product in the industry uses.
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses rely heavily on various SaaS services to streamline operations and drive growth. However, without a systematic approach to managing your SaaS security, you may encounter inefficiencies, risks, and unnecessary costs. Grip provides you with a panoramic view of the SaaS-Identity attack surface and pivotable inventory analysis to see and secure identities whenever and wherever SaaS is used.
Once you have assessed your current SaaS-Identity attack surface, it's time to define your objectives and requirements. Determine the key functionalities and features your business requires from its SaaS services, including business units and teams administering their own business-led SaaS tools. Consider factors such as scalability, integration capabilities, security, and user experience. Engage with relevant stakeholders to gather their input and align your SaaS strategy with the overall business goals. Document your objectives and requirements to serve as a reference point throughout the optimization process — enhanced by Grip’s continuous discovery, contextualized SaaS-Identity risk, and consistent enforcement to realize infinite user choice and zero security compromise.
