SaaS Security: Savvy Listed as Provider in Gartner Report

Savvy Security, a leading identity-first SaaS security platform, has been named as a provider in the Gartner® report, "Emerging Tech: SaaS Ecosystem Security Products Transform SaaS Security." The report, published on 19 July 2024, provides insights for product leaders seeking to enhance the security of their SaaS ecosystems.

The report highlights the increasing importance of SaaS ecosystem security in safeguarding enterprise data and ensuring compliance. While SaaS has become a cornerstone of modern business due to its ease of implementation, scalability, and affordability, managing security within these environments presents unique challenges. The widespread adoption of SaaS applications has made them prime targets for cybercriminals seeking to access sensitive employee and company data.

According to Gartner, “The impact of SaaS ecosystem security on overall enterprise security is often understated.” The report emphasizes the dynamic nature of SaaS applications, with their evolving user, configuration, and access lifecycles. Orphaned accounts or applications, no longer in use or maintained, can become potential entry points for cyberthreats. Similarly, orphaned integrations, disconnected connections between applications, pose significant security risks.

Guy Guzner, co-founder and CEO of Savvy, said: “SaaS apps have become pervasive throughout the enterprise, making them prime targets for threat actors looking to gain access to sensitive employee and company information. The only way to effectively manage SaaS security is with real-time insights. Savvy’s modern, frictionless approach to SaaS identity security allows organisations to combat SaaS risk and prevent security breaches within their organisations.”

Savvy stands out as the only solution utilising multiple telemetry sources, including its patent-pending Zero-Touch Integrations technology, to continuously identify all SaaS and web applications in use, both managed and unmanaged by IT. This comprehensive approach extends to identifying all accounts, single sign-on (SSO) integrations, multi-factor authentication (MFA) enablement, and overall security posture.

Savvy’s robust app and identity intelligence provides organisations with a modern SaaS security solution, enabling them to understand:

Which applications are being used?

What accounts are being used to access these applications?

What connections exist between applications?

By offering an always up-to-date inventory of applications, identities, and associated risks, Savvy empowers organisations to eliminate the dangerous combinations of risk that can lead to successful identity-based attacks and data breaches.
