Features that support SaaS security and compliance

Capture and centralize security logs
Auvik SaaS Management captures and centralizes security-related events and activity across SaaS applications using real-world data from end users’ browsers and devices. Centralizing SaaS logs improves visibility, speeds remediation, and reduces the impact of “swivel chair syndrome.”
Get metrics related to license provisioning, logins, and more
Gain visibility into your SaaS environment with detailed metrics on license usage, user logins, and application activity. Identify inactive licenses, underused apps, unauthorized accounts, and risky behaviors — so you can proactively manage costs and reduce compliance and security risks.
Detect risky behavior with real-time alerts
Auvik’s real-time data collection and activity monitoring make it one of the few SaaS security solutions that reliably detect shared account usage, personal access to corporate tools, and unapproved apps. Flexible alerting lets IT define who to notify when risky behavior is detected.
Stay ahead of vendor security incidents
Auvik tracks and aggregates key info on third-party SaaS vendor security incidents from multiple sources, centralizing it so you can focus on what matters (e.g., a data breach for a SaaS app your users access). Reports help IT stay current, contextualize risk, and learn how to respond.

SaaS security FAQs
What is SaaS Security?
SaaS security is the set of strategies, tactics, and SaaS security tools that protect SaaS apps from cybersecurity threats. The domain of SaaS security includes security monitoring, threat detection, incident prevention, compliance, governance, and incident response.
How does Auvik help improve SaaS security?
Auvik SaaS Management improves SaaS security through increased SaaS visibility, identity management, SaaS governance, and risky user behavior detection. For example, Auvik SaaS management enables users to build a comprehensive SaaS inventory based on real-world usage and identify which apps aren’t currently integrated with corporate SSO. Additionally, Auvik can alert on risky user behavior, such as password sharing, and notify IT when a third-party vendor experiences a security incident that could impact the organization.
