What you can do with Application Hygiene
- Discover unsanctioned applications - see every shadow IT application your users are accessing, detected automatically through your connected identity providers.
- Assess application risk - review who has access to a shadow application and how they authenticate, to judge whether it’s a genuine risk or simply missing from your catalog.
- Track application activity - see when a shadow application was first detected and when it was last used, so you can prioritize the ones still actively creating risk.
Use cases
Closing shadow IT blind spots
Users adopt SaaS applications outside of IT’s approval process to move faster - signing up with a work email or single sign-on without ever registering the app in your software catalog. Each one is a blind spot: an application holding company data and company accounts that your security team has no visibility into. Oleria detects these unsanctioned applications automatically through your connected identity providers, giving your security team a single inventory of every shadow IT application in your environment.Prioritizing shadow IT risk
Not every unsanctioned application is equally risky - some are low-stakes tools a team adopted informally, while others hold sensitive data or broad account access. Reviewing them one by one with no starting point is slow. Oleria surfaces who has access to each shadow application and how they authenticate, so you can quickly separate the applications worth bringing under management from the ones that need immediate action.To automate the follow-up once a new shadow application is detected, see the Detect and report Shadow IT workflow.
