AppOmni announces SaaS-aware identity threat detection and response at Black Hat 2024

The newest capabilities complement traditional ITDR and identity and access management (IAM) solutions from Identity Providers.

AppOmni today announced a series of technology advances delivering identity and threat detection capabilities to protect critical enterprise Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environments.

New features leverage powerful identity-centric analysis, mass-scale event monitoring and normalization, an industry standard for SaaS event monitoring capabilities, and a comprehensive dashboard to show trending risk and the overall security health of SaaS applications. The newest capabilities complement traditional ITDR and identity and access management (IAM) solutions from Identity Providers (IdPs) such as Okta, and collectively help security professionals build stronger, scalable SaaS security that boosts defenses while further reducing alert fatigue.

Joe Sullivan, strategic advisor to AppOmni and former CSO at Facebook, Uber, and CloudFlare said, “SaaS applications are increasingly being targeted by cybercriminals. Detecting threats within these apps requires a specialized approach. The new AppOmni capabilities will help organizations build scalable SaaS security with accurate threat detection, continuous, deep SaaS security posture checks and identity-centric analysis. Some of the capabilities AppOmni is unveiling today have recently been seen as standalone products from startups with big valuations. By embedding these features in one SaaS Security Platform, AppOmni is making it easy to build a world class SaaS security program.”

“The events of the past year including recent attacks involving Snowflake have validated the fact that SaaS applications used by almost every organization are under attack by advanced actors,” said Harold Byun, chief product officer at AppOmni. “Based on AppOmni Labs Research and breach analysis, it has become even more critical for enterprises to build a security strategy around these undefended internet facing endpoints that facilitate an entry point to internal on-premise infrastructure. The new AppOmni SaaS-aware ITDR capabilities will help organizations identify and protect against modern SaaS threats.”
