On average, organizations now use 112 SaaS applications. While this explosion of cloud-based tools boosts productivity and efficiency, it also introduces a security challenge. Not all SaaS applications are created equal. They have so many different settings and a unique set of security configurations.
In addition, not all SaaS apps carry the same level of risk. Business-critical platforms—like CRM, collaboration, and financial tools—store vast amounts of sensitive data, making them prime targets for attackers. Third-party integrations and shadow IT also introduce hidden vulnerabilities that often go unnoticed. Understanding what each SaaS app does, assessing risks, and sifting through vast data to identify security issues is overwhelming—if not humanly possible—for security teams.
AI is no longer optional. It’s the only way to keep up.
So, how do you manage this complex web of configurations, risks, and threats? The answer lies in AI-driven security solutions. When built and trained on the right data, these solutions can provide visibility into your SaaS environment and data analytics at a scale and depth that only AI can handle.
Improved security outcomes with GenAI
AppOmni is leading the AI-driven shift in SaaS security management. We’re revolutionizing security by combining advanced analytics and Generative AI, allowing users to chat with their data, investigate security events, and make faster, informed decisions. With our AI solution, AppOmni empowers users with AI-driven observations, transforming complex SaaS security questions into clear, actionable answers. In addition to text-based responses, it provides visual representations for deeper understanding.
GenAI implemented from the lens of our domain expertise can help protect mission-critical and sensitive data from unintended public exposure, attackers, and insider threats. It optimizes security workflows by analyzing both numerical and text data quickly, surfacing important observations in a narrative form, and enabling deeper correlations with added contextualization to help teams focus on taking faster action. All of this is only possible because of the depth of the data that AppOmni collects. The richer the data, the smarter the AI.
By integrating GenAI with traditional ML, organizations can quickly adapt to the constantly evolving threat landscape. This approach also enhances accessibility with multi-lingual support, including Japanese, French, and English, allowing users to control the complexity using native language interaction.
Why data matters in security with GenAI
At AppOmni, we understand that the foundation for proper SaaS security management is visibility. To achieve that, we use our expertise to know what data should be captured and its content, and how it should be categorized to ensure the best protection. That’s why we’re able to process over 2 billion events every day and secure more than 101 million users. AppOmni has published the most research about SaaS misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, and NetSuite.
The outcome of AI can only be as valuable as the comprehensiveness of the data that it uses. Without that depth in the data, GenAI does not have what it needs to be able to be helpful. Our expertise ensures AI has the depth it needs to be truly helpful in securing SaaS environments.

Sample AskOmni use case and customer feedback
Our customers have already benefited from the insights delivered by AskOmni in real world SaaS security management scenarios. During a recent customer engagement, AskOmni quickly identified critical security risks in the company’s complex app ecosystem. The environment contained vast amounts of data and numerous applications, making it challenging to pinpoint vulnerabilities. With just a few prompts, AskOmni efficiently analyzed the system and highlighted key areas for focus. AskOmni provided the following insights that the customer was able to immediately action and remediate:
- Application bypassing IP restrictions—an issue AskOmni detected and presented in a clear, actionable format
- Flagged unauthorized self-authorization in Salesforce
- Identified outdated applications such as Chatter Mobile for Blackberry
Many of these findings would have been impossible or could have taken significant effort from busy security professionals without AskOmni. The time and effort saved for this issue alone could easily be measured in several hours or days. This example showcases AskOmni’s ability to streamline security assessments, providing immediate, high-value insights that help organizations address risks efficiently.
