Shadow SaaS
Shadow SaaS is the use of unauthorized SaaS applications within an organization, poses significant security and compliance risks. Employees often adopt these tools without approval, lacking visibility and control over sensitive data. This unregulated usage can result in data breaches, non-compliance with industry regulations, and increased vulnerability to cyber threats. Managing Shadow SaaS is crucial to ensure that all applications meet security standards, protect sensitive information, and comply with organizational policies.
