Expose Unapproved Tools

Identify and manage shadow SaaS and unapproved applications

Hidden Tools Create Hidden Risks

Employees and teams often adopt unapproved SaaS applications or AI tools to get work done faster.

 

These shadow apps can store sensitive data, bypass IT controls, and create blind spots in your environment.

 

Most organizations only discover these tools after a security incident or compliance review, leaving teams exposed and reactive instead of proactive.

Every Unknown App Poses a Threat

CISOs and IT teams know that unmonitored tools can lead to:

Data leakage when unapproved apps store corporate information outside managed systems

Uncontrolled integrations that bypass security policies and expand attack surfaces

Compliance failures when shadow tools violate regulatory requirements

Operational disruption when critical workflows rely on unmanaged apps

Audit challenges from incomplete knowledge of what tools employees are actually using

Scenario

Marketing teams are using unapproved design tools, sales calls are joined by new AI notetakers, and HR relies on AI assistants for recruitment.

 

Your IT team doesn’t know where these tools store company data or which accounts they can access. One AI tool may have access to your corporate Google Drive while another shares data externally.

 

Traditional solutions monitor apps individually and miss the bigger picture.

 

FrontierZero connects activity across all unapproved tools, identities, and apps, giving your team visibility and control to protect company data before it’s exposed.
