SaaS Discovery

Nudge Security has extended our patented SaaS discovery method to include SaaS spend data from invoices in your users’ mailboxes, uncovering SaaS expenses that may not be captured by financial software.

‍

Now, Nudge Security discovers and analyzes invoices from the last two years to extract spend data such as billing frequency, amount, renewal date, billing owner, cost center, and most recent transaction, powering the platform’s cost optimization insights. For additional context, we’ve added an inventory of invoice details we’ve uncovered for each app, including information like invoice ID, date, payment status, payee, and description of services.

‍

These new discovery capabilities enable SaaS spend forecasting that accounts for previously-unknown spend and changes in SaaS adoption. You can track your own estimated annual budget for each app alongside Nudge Security’s record of historical spend for the last 12 months and projected spend based on actual usage. Nudge Security also calculates each app’s average cost per user, helping you prioritize SaaS deployment and investment decisions.

‍

Nudge Security has added the ability to discover and inventory multiple instances of the same app, enabling customers to identify and rationalize duplicate instances and shadow tenants. 

‍

Previously, Nudge Security categorized some instance types as resources within an app. Now, we’ll display instances defined by a unique subdomain (ex, company.slack.com) in an Instances tab within the App Overview page. Within that same pane, we’ll also associate individual accounts with the instances they have access to.

Nudge Security has enhanced our SaaS discovery engine with support for Google Single Sign-On (SSO). This update enables our system to recognize and analyze the use of Google SSO in authenticating user accounts. Now we can provide deeper insights into authentication patterns, improving security and compliance across your SaaS applications by offering detailed visibility into how Google SSO is employed in your environment.

We've added a new dashboard to help you understand what AI tools are in use at your organization and who is using them.

‍

Now, you can: 

• See your organization’s AI usage and adoption trends at a glance.
• Find out how different business units are using AI.
• Identify which employees are the most prolific AI tool adopters.
• Understand which applications are using AI functionality within their solutions.
