We’re going deep on SaaS security and governance with new connected apps

Effective SaaS security and governance is T-shaped. IT and security organizations need broad visibility of all apps and identities used across the organization as well as an in-depth understanding of each app’s risk posture as it relates to user identities, data sharing and other security configurations, app-to-app integrations, and the vendor’s own security posture.

‍

With our patented approach to SaaS discovery, Nudge Security provides broad visibility of SaaS assets, including historical, off network, and personal device SaaS use. Now, we’re going deep with new connected app capabilities that unlock further SaaS risk insights and enable automation around identity governance and more.

‍

Read on to learn about our new connected apps and how to get started with them.

‍

What are connected apps?

Connected apps are built and maintained directly by Nudge Security to provide secure integrations with SaaS applications used across your organization. They provide deeper insights into each app environment like users, app-to-app integrations, and data; they surface identity risks and misconfigurations; and they enable automation to manage SaaS access and data.

‍

How connected apps work

Using an authenticated API connection into each connected app, Nudge Security is able to deliver specific user insights, automated access controls to streamline offboarding and user access reviews, and SSPM capabilities. Nudge Security performs a number of posture checks based on a set of global and app-specific rules to detect:

• Identity risks: We flag accounts with weak or missing MFA, streamline employee offboarding by suspending inactive or suspended accounts, identify dormant groups and roles, and detect accounts with personal emails for recovery.
• Integration risks: We identify risky or unapproved integrations with access to critical resources such as files, email, or source code repositories.
• Configuration risks: We monitor configuration settings to detect risky settings such as lack of MFA enforcement, session timeouts, and password policies.

‍

By connecting your apps, you can uncover security posture findings and initiate remediation workflows from within Nudge Security.

‍

How to get started with connected apps

In your Nudge Security account, you'll find "Connected Apps" listed under the "Apps" dropdown, or in the "Connected Apps" tab within "Settings." There, users with admin privileges can see and manage integrations from a growing list of optional apps.
