Third-Party Risks for SaaS
Real-time visibility and insights into risks introduced by connected applications.
CHALLENGE
SaaS applications are all connected and intertwined. These extensions and integrations often request excessive permissions and operate outside of IT’s visibility. Without clear oversight, organizations risk data exposure, privilege abuse, and supply chain compromise.
How AppOmni secures third and fourth party app risks

Proactively alert and prioritize unsanctioned non-human identities.
Increased visibility
Visualize and monitor SaaS to SaaS integrations, including those authorized by non-human identities.
Discovers Exposure and Impacts
Quickly identify the blast radius of connected apps and misconfigurations.
Key Features
A modern defense strategy
for the SaaS supply chain
To defend against recent breaches like UNC6395 and UNC6040, enterprises need a security strategy built for the SaaS-to-SaaS layer.
| Recent Breach TTPs | Capabilities Needed to Prevent | AppOmni |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Access Attackers use social engineering, compromise trusted third-party apps, and abuse OAuth tokens to gain initial access and bypass MFA. | Identify SaaS shadow SaaS and shadow AI Discover third-party connections | ✅ |
| Privilege Escalation & Lateral Movement They exploit SSO misconfigurations and overly permissive accounts to gain administrative rights and pivot to other connected apps. | Prevent Misconfigs by continuously monitoring permissions and configs of apps and users Data exposure, ensure secrets are stored correctly Unauthorized connections via VPN, TOR, or IPs | ✅ |
| Exfiltration Attackers user anomalous behavior such as VPNs, TORs, or IPs from various locations to exfil sensitive data. | Detect Anomalous behavior with User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) such as: High volume API requests Anomalous user logins OAuth activity from VPNs/TORs Normalization of SaaS logs | ✅ |
| Response Stepped up authentication through Shared Signals with IdPs Search normalized logs SIEM/SOAR/ITSM integrations | ✅ |
