Shadow SaaS Discovery & Control
The average enterprise uses over 1,000 SaaS applications. IT typically knows about a fraction of them. Surface Security discovers every SaaS application accessed through the browser, classifies them by risk, and enforces corporate identity and access policies automatically.
You can't secure SaaS apps you don't know about
Employees adopt new SaaS tools daily without IT approval: project management, file sharing, design tools, messaging platforms. Each one is a potential data silo and security gap. Without browser-level visibility, shadow SaaS sprawl grows unchecked, creating compliance violations and data exposure risks that traditional CASBs detect too late.
Hundreds of unsanctioned SaaS apps in use with no IT visibility
Corporate data scattered across unmanaged SaaS platforms
Users bypassing SSO by creating accounts with personal email addresses
Compliance violations from data stored in unapproved, unvetted applications
