In this engaging Tech Take by Certero SAM & FinOps specialist Dan Whitefield, we take a look at taming the wild frontier of software asset management in the cloud – ‘Shadow SaaS’. Dan will take us through how organizations can create future-proof Shadow SaaS discovery and management processes to find and maintain control of web applications that are outside of IT’s traditionally centralized visibility and governance processes. Allowing unknown SaaS applications presents a significant cost and data security risk to organizations, yet the trend is showing no sign of slowing down. Additionally, many early methods used to capture evidence of user web activity have turned out to be a burden to sustain as well as surprisingly invasive to user privacy and security.
