In today’s highly distributed workplace, every employee has the ability to act as their own CIO and adopt new cloud and SaaS technologies anytime, anywhere. While this is an important boon for digital enterprise productivity and innovation, it upends traditional approaches to IT security and governance.
Nudge Security is the world’s first and only solution that works to solve SaaS security and governance problems at scale and employees – not against them. Unlike traditional solutions that try to prevent employees from accessing unapproved SaaS applications, Nudge Security helps IT and security leaders adapt and adapt to business needs. The platform orchestrates SaaS management without sacrificing visibility, centralized governance, or control over an organization’s cloud and SaaS security posture.
How Boost Security Works
Nudge Security discovers all SaaS accounts created by anyone in your organization within minutes of starting a free trial, and requires only a single point of integration: read-only API access to your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace email provider. No endpoint agents, web proxies, browser plug-ins, application integrations, or other complex deployment steps are required.
SaaS Discovery’s patented approach leverages a consistent design pattern: Every SaaS provider uses email to drive user engagement, making it the perfect event log to capture new account signups and other security-related activity. By searching and analyzing machine-generated emails (for example, no-reply@box.com), Nudge Security can create and update lists of your SaaS accounts, users, and resources without you having to tell it what applications to look for.

Implement SaaS security best practices
Nudge Security not only shows you who has access to what, but also includes valuable context on how access was granted, whether through SSO, OAuth authorization, or username and password. Nudge Security also shows you which applications and accounts are (or are not) registered for MFA or SSO so you can easily track the progress of registration and start automated workflows to help users enable MFA for their accounts and in SSO Register the application.
Additionally, you’ll see a complete list of all OAuth authorizations and scopes to understand where application-to-application integration can allow data sharing beyond what your data governance policy allows. The OAuth risk score helps you quickly identify scopes that are too permissive so you can push your application users to learn more context or revoke a grant with two clicks.

Monitor your SaaS attack surface
Your modern attack surface extends to every SaaS application, user identity, and OAuth authorization your employees use to build products and run your business. That’s why Nudge Security discovers and monitors changes across the entire SaaS attack surface, including SaaS applications, cloud infrastructure, developer tools, social media accounts, registered domains, and more. With Nudge Security, you can view all external-facing assets that an attacker might see so you can take proactive steps to protect and minimize your attack surface.
Nudge Security also provides vendor security settings documentation for each SaaS vendor, including breach history, compliance certification, data locality, and more. With this data, you can conduct SaaS vendor security assessments faster and prepare for compliance audits more easily. And, only Nudge Security can show you a SaaS vendor’s SaaS supply chain, so when a high-profile application breach occurs, you can quickly determine whether you’re within blast range of a third-party or fourth-party supply chain attack. You’ll even receive alerts if the SaaS provider you use is compromised, or if a SaaS tool used by one of your providers is compromised.

Control SaaS sprawl without impacting productivity
Research shows that restricting employee access to SaaS applications in an effort to curb SaaS contagion can lead to frustration and shady workarounds.
Nudge Security guides users and application owners on SaaS security best practices by automating employee engagement with timely, useful nudges. For example, when a new app is discovered, you can ask users how they would use the app, or nudge them to use an approved alternative. You can also direct users to ask if they are still using a specific application so that you can recycle unused licenses. These automated touchpoints make it simple to orchestrate SaaS security and governance at scale, improving IT efficiency.
