Bad actors lurk in the shadows

If you don't have a list of shadow IT applications in your network yet, you're in trouble. Log360 can get you the list instantly.

Monitor shadow IT application use and access with Log360

Applications in your network that are neither sanctioned nor unsanctioned by your security team are shadow applications, and they pose a serious security threat. Log360, a unified SIEM solution with integrated CASB capabilities, captures the use of such shadow apps and enables you to regulate app access in your network.

Log360 can help you detect shadow IT application access

  • Discover shadow apps
  • Track shadow app users
  • Monitor recent shadow apps

Discover shadow applications in your network

  • Log360 can capture the use of cloud apps in your network using the reverse proxy technique.
  • You can view the list of shadow apps used by your employees and either sanction or ban them.
  • Log360 can also help you ban malicious applications. It provides insights on who accessed these applications and when, allowing security teams to conduct forensic analysis to ensure the safety of the network.

Track users who request access to shadow applications

  • Log360 keeps track of users who access shadow applications in your infrastructure.
  • It can also help you ban shadow applications, and users' access controls can be revisited to ensure they have only the necessary privileges in your network.
  • Users attempting to access shadow applications can be investigated further for abnormal behavior in the network with the help of Log360's UEBA module.

Track recently accessed shadow applications

  • With integrated CASB capabilities, Log360 provides a list of all the recently requested shadow applications in your network.
  • If these requests are targeted at a specific application, there could be malicious malware in the background raising those requests, or it could be a botnet attack with a network of compromised systems controlled by a command and control server accessing a bad application to carry out the next stage of an attack.
  • After investigating the list of requested shadow applications, you can sanction the applications or ban them from your network.
