SaaS is on the Move – Secure with Dynamic SaaS Security, by Reco

Reco’s Dynamic SaaS Security platform helps enterprises eliminate the SaaS security gap by staying on top of the SaaS rate of change.

‍

Reco, a leading SaaS security solution, is revolutionizing the way enterprises secure their SaaS with its dynamic approach to SaaS security and posture management (SSPM). Why? Because modern SaaS environments are not static. As organizations accelerate the pace of SaaS adoption, SaaS environments are constantly outscaling security due to five types of sprawl:

• App Sprawl — Apps constantly multiply, update, and form SaaS-to-SaaS connections — making it impossible to keep up.
• AI Sprawl — The infusion of AI into SaaS apps, and the surge of AI Agents, undermines your AI Security Readiness.
• Configuration Sprawl — The security posture of apps and users is critical yet utterly impractical to continuously update and maintain. 
• Identity Sprawl — Keeping accounts secure while minimizing access privileges is unfeasible with the relentless proliferation of identities.  
• Event Sprawl — Critical incidents like data breaches and insider threats hide within an avalanche of a trillion events. 

The average enterprise has 490 SaaS apps – over 50% of which are unauthorized – according to Reco research. GenAI adoption has surged by 30.7% since 2023. 9.5% of SaaS Admins still lack MFA on their accounts. And 91% of Salesforce instances are exposed to unauthorized file sharing risks.

‍

Security measures are getting lost in the chaos of SaaS sprawl. The result? The SaaS Security Gap: the growing gap between what you can protect and what’s outscaling your security.

‍

Traditional SSPM solutions were built for a world where organizations only had Salesforce and a handful of core apps. They were designed before the GenAI revolution and the days of remote work, when changes happened quarterly, not hourly or by the minute.

‍

Those days are long gone. Today's SaaS environment is dynamic, interconnected, and AI-infused. This demands an entirely new approach to security – one that can keep pace with the SaaS rate of change.

‍

“We always listen to our customers,” says Ofer Klein, Co-Founder & CEO of Reco. “What we learned from them is that their businesses are Dynamic – adding new apps, changing configurations, and connecting GenAI apps and plugins continuously. This constant flux allows their businesses to run faster and more efficiently. They expect a security solution that can help enable the business with minimal friction, which is why they chose Reco: the Dynamic SaaS Security Platform,” He explains.

‍

“For example, one major issue resulting from the proliferation of SaaS Apps is that employees are adding apps without the consent of security or IT. Take for example a highly-regulated financial services company. A team member had connected a GenAI app to zoom, transcribing all calls and sharing them with the entire company. This Shadow AI + misconfiguration could’ve been catastrophic, if left unchecked. Fortunately Reco detected it and the company was able to remediate the issue immediately. But without Reco to provide visibility into the ever-expanding SaaS ecosystem, sensitive data could have been ingested and leaked through the AI.”

Beyond Traditional SSPM: A Dynamic Approach to SaaS Security

‍

Reco's Dynamic SaaS Security Platform revolutionizes how organizations protect their SaaS ecosystems. The four-in-one solution includes:

‍

Discovery: Every app, every connection, every AI agent in your environment – mapped and monitored in real-time, the moment it's connected to your environment.

‍

SSPM+: Posture management that adapts to your business context, automatically adjusting as your SaaS ecosystem changes and grows.

‍

Identity & Access Governance: Ensure that accounts are always secure (e.g., with MFA), and access privileges are kept to a minimum.

‍

Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR): Get instant alerts on data theft, account compromise, and configuration drift with hundreds of pre-built detection controls. Respond automatically with your existing tools.

‍

Staying on top of the SaaS rate of change is made possible in Reco through two dynamic technologies:

• The App Factory™: a no-code/low-code engine that enables supporting new apps in days, not quarters. Reco currently supports more than 150 apps, and that number is growing every week.
• The Knowledge Graph: enriched by the App Factory, it’s able to process vast and increasing amounts of app data across the constantly expanding SaaS universe.

Real-World Impact on Customers

‍

Organizations implementing Reco's Dynamic SaaS Security Platform have seen an immediate impact:

‍

“Before we used Reco we didn't know how bad the problem was across our SaaS environment. And now with Reco, I get the needed visibility, governance and security to stem the tide. Because every day I am literally having to figure out if I'm sanctioning this application and how to ensure a secure use of it. And I'm facing probably 15-20 a day,” Said Neda Pitt, CISO at Belk.

‍

“The App Factory is a huge differentiator compared to the rest of the players in the space. Most of the time when you ask for integrations, they'll say ‘we'll add it to our roadmap’, maybe next year. Whereas Reco is very responsive and agile, so I can get the coverage I need for new Apps within days” said Kyle Kurdziolek, VP of Security at BigID.

‍

“I initially thought we had less than 100 apps, but after we deployed Reco we found that our SaaS footprint was orders of magnitude larger than we initially thought. Reco gives me the visibility and observability to be able to reduce my attack surface and effectively manage risk, by detecting the Shadow AI and Shadow SaaS apps and also connecting and securing them ” said Aaron Ansari, CISO at Exela Pharma Sciences.

Reco is currently used by customers worldwide across multiple industries to secure their SaaS ecosystem. For more information and to schedule a demo, visit www.reco.ai.

About Reco

‍

Reco is the leader in Dynamic SaaS Security — the only approach that eliminates the SaaS Security Gap. This gap is driven by SaaS Sprawl — the proliferation of apps, AI, and identities; the challenge of keeping their configurations secure amidst constant updates, and the challenge of finding threats hidden within an ever-growing number of events. Dynamic SaaS Security by Reco keeps pace with this sprawl, no matter how fast it evolves, by covering the entire SaaS lifecycle — cradle to grave. It tracks all apps, SaaS-to-SaaS connections, Shadow SaaS, AI Agents, and Shadow AI tools, including their users and data, and adds support for new apps in days, not quarters. It maintains airtight posture and compliance — even as apps and AI Agents are added or updated. And it also ensures accounts remain secure, access privileges are minimized, and alerts are provided for critical threats. Reco’s AI-based graph technology connects in minutes and provides immediate value to security teams to continuously discover all SaaS applications including sanctioned and unsanctioned apps, shadow apps, associated identities from both humans and machines, their permission level, and actions. Reco uses advanced analytics around persona, actions, interactions and relationships to other users, and then alerts on exposure from misconfigurations, over-permission users, compromised accounts, and risky user behavior. This comprehensive picture is generated continuously using the Reco Knowledge Graph and empowers security teams to take swift action to effectively prioritize their most critical points of risk. Reco uses a low-code/no-code approach to add a new SaaS integration in 3-5 days.
