Features of our SaaS discovery tool
Automated SaaS discovery and documentation
Automatically discover all SaaS, cloud, desktop, and business apps across your network and cloud. Auvik SaaS Management continuously scans and inventories your app landscape in real time, offering centralized visibility. Spot new or high-risk apps to keep your environment secure.
Strengthen visibility and control with shadow AI monitoring
Shadow AI is rising fast, bypassing IT oversight and exposing businesses to security threats, regulatory violations, and data leaks. With Auvik, you can uncover unauthorized AI tools that slip under the radar, ensuring compliance with IT policies and protecting your sensitive data from being used to train AI models.
Reveal shadow IT across your environment
Auvik’s shadow IT discovery tool reveals every SaaS app employees use — approved or not. It analyzes sign-ins, OAuth grants, and browser extensions to uncover Shadow IT. See which apps are in use, who’s using them, and what data they access to assess risk, enforce policy, and regain control.
Instantly detect changes in your software inventory
Auvik SaaS Management monitors your entire application environment in real time, detecting new or modified desktop, SaaS, and business apps as they appear. Get alerted the moment a change occurs so you can maintain an accurate inventory, prevent shadow IT, and stay ahead of compliance and security risks.

“Before Auvik SaaS Management, our biggest challenge was asking clients to compile a list of all the software they used. It enables us to put an agent on their computers and let it run for a month. Instead of asking the client for that list, we can provide them with a list of applications they use.”

SaaS discovery FAQs
How does Auvik SaaS Management discover all the SaaS and AI applications running in my network?
Auvik discovers SaaS and AI applications by analyzing applications accessed on end users’ devices, combined with cloud service API integrations (for platforms like Microsoft 365, Okta, and Google Workspace). This hybrid approach enables visibility into the SaaS apps accessed by users both on-premises and remotely.
Can it find hidden or unauthorized apps that users install without IT approval?
Yes. Auvik continuously monitors device and browser activity to identify all applications accessed, whether they’re installed on the device or SaaS apps, helping uncover shadow IT and shadow AI usage.
Will Auvik’s SaaS discovery alert me automatically if new, risky applications appear on my network?
Auvik continuously discovers SaaS applications running in your environment, providing up-to-date visibility. It automatically alerts you when new or risky applications appear, so you can take immediate action to secure your network.
Can I classify applications as approved or risky with Auvik’s SaaS management?
Yes, with Auvik SaaS Management, you can classify apps as approved or risky. This helps you monitor usage and quickly spot unauthorized or unsanctioned applications across your environment.
How does SaaS discovery with Auvik support investigations after a security incident involving shadow applications?
Auvik offers detailed logs and historical data on SaaS application usage, which can assist security teams in tracing unauthorized access and understanding user activity during incident response.
How does discovery work across different user locations, like on-premises, remote, or cloud?
Discovery is completed through many collection points, including an agent deployed directly to users’ workstations and direct integrations into Identity Management providers (IdP). Because the agent remains on the user’s device, and users authenticate to the IdP independent of network location, it provides visibility into SaaS application usage, whether users are on-premises, working remotely, or accessing cloud platforms.
Can Auvik’s SaaS discovery software integrate with existing security tools or SIEMs?
Yes. Auvik supports integration with SIEMs and other security tools via APIs, allowing you to incorporate SaaS usage data into your broader security monitoring and incident response workflows.
