Shining a Light on Shadow Apps: The Invisible Gateway to SaaS Data Breaches
Briefly

Shadow apps expose organizations to security risks by operating outside of vetted governance. Though potentially legitimate, they lack necessary protective measures, leaving sensitive data vulnerable.
Standalone shadow apps, functioning in isolation, can easily lead to fragmented data and mishandling of corporate information, creating a substantial, unmonitored risk for organizations.
Integrated shadow apps pose even greater threats, as they interact with sanctioned systems, making it possible for threat actors to exploit vulnerabilities and jeopardize the entire SaaS infrastructure.
Both island and integrated shadow apps represent a significant challenge for corporate security teams, showcasing the urgent need for robust governance and visibility into cloud usage.
