Shadow IT Visibility And Monitoring

Discover and secure Shadow IT identities and apps, regardless of how or where they’re created.
Shadow IT and SaaS Visibility

Visibility for Any Application or Account

Scirge utilizes a lightweight browser extension to discover password-based and SSO accounts based on centrally managed policies. This enables the real-time creation of detailed inventories for applications and identities, improving Shadow IT and Shadow AI visibility.

Complete Coverage without Signatures

Scirge identifies applications and accounts from local, legacy, or unwanted sign-ins—including phishing sites—without relying on signatures or predefined application databases.

Traditional network and endpoint tools cover less than 1% of the web and depend on a limited database of well-known SaaS and cloud providers. Scirge extends visibility to:

  • Shadow IT and Shadow AI applications
  • SaaS tools
  • Supply chain portals
  • Any web-based cloud access

Track SaaS Usage Trends and Reduce Risks

Recently adopted services, abandoned applications, and risky suppliers are detected using built-in and customizable dynamic rules. IT decision-makers receive actionable reports and notifications on:

  • Emerging SaaS trends
  • Adoption of new services
  • Risks posed by unsupported Shadow IT or abandoned applications

Shadow IT Visibility for Any Online Account

Accounts created by users with corporate emails or unmanaged SSO accounts are automatically discovered upon use. Password hygiene, identity misuse, or sharing of sensitive accounts is monitored, with specific warnings triggered to mitigate risks.

Proactive detection of these accounts helps organizations close the Shadow IT visibility gap while addressing critical security concerns.

Cut SaaS Costs and Reduce IT Overhead

Minimize expenses related to Shadow IT and unused SaaS subscriptions while reducing support demands for overlapping tools and services.

Scirge identifies:

  • Redundant applications like multiple file-sharing tools
  • Unused licenses based on usage
  • Unsupported SaaS platforms

What Are the Top Risks of Shadow IT?

  • Sensitive Data Exposure: Unmanaged applications may store confidential, financial, or Personally Identifiable Information (PII) without meeting corporate compliance standards.
  • Corporate Password Reuse: Reusing corporate passwords in third-party applications creates easy attack vectors for credential stuffing and remote access attacks.
  • Cloud Integration Vulnerabilities: Shadow IT can integrate with your cloud environment, exposing tokens, API keys, and credentials that compromise your infrastructure.
  • Employee Offboarding Challenges: Departing employees may retain access to unmanaged third-party accounts, increasing security risks.
  • Increased Costs: Unregulated SaaS consumption can increase licensing and operational costs by 30-40%.
