M&A deals in 2024 are expected to outpace last year’s volume. However, when two companies merge, the complexity of their combined SaaS ecosystems is often underestimated, leaving a vast, unmonitored attack surface exposed to cyber threats. Shadow IT—unsanctioned applications flying under IT’s radar—can expose the organization to significant cyber threats if left unaddressed. Failure to quickly identify and manage these risks can lead to a cascade of security vulnerabilities that compromise the integration process. Without knowing where the risks are, there’s no chance to mitigate them. In this edition of SaaS Risk Insider, we explore M&A integrations from a SaaS security perspective to equip you with what to look for and how to mitigate the risks of your new acquisition. #Merger #Acquisition #SaaSSecurity #Cybersecurity #ShadowIT

Are you aware that, on average, half of SaaS app licenses go unused? 🤯 Employees often adopt apps that provide immediate value, but over time, they move on to something else while the other app remains within the organization, retaining the same privileges. In a survey by Chiefmartec and the Martech Tribe, 83% of respondents admitted that they chose an alternate app even though the feature was available in their primary (sanctioned) platform. Unused software licenses don’t just clutter your environment—they’re a security risk and a major budget drain. See what’s lurking in your SaaS environment; reclaim unused licenses and revoke access to abandoned accounts. We’ll show you how: https://lnkd.in/eqyrPXQf #SaaSSecurity #SaaSManagement #CostSavings #CyberSecurity #GripSecurity

Is Your SaaS Offboarding Process Eating Up Valuable Time? Offboarding employees from SaaS applications should be seamless, but it’s still a manual and time-consuming process for many organizations. ❌ Manually tracking down and revoking access to dozens of SaaS apps can take hours for each departing employee. And that’s just for the apps you know about, let alone the ones you don't. All told, manual offboarding is time-consuming and prone to human error, too. The longer these accounts stay active, the bigger the risk of data breaches, credential stuffing, and other security vulnerabilities. Automating the offboarding process saves time and eliminates those gaps in your security posture. ✅ How many hours could your team save with automated SaaS offboarding? Grip secures your SaaS environment more effectively by automating critical offboarding tasks, including shadow SaaS and unmanaged SaaS accounts.
