Detect Vulnerable Installations and Enhance IT Security

Data privacy and security are high-priority initiatives for enterprises as phishing and cybersecurity attacks have risen exponentially.

Advanced Software Asset Management technology can enhance IT security initiatives by providing comprehensive visibility of software and potential malware, reducing unmanaged applications, and providing robust user management.

Comprehensive App Detection

Xensam illuminates previously undetected apps and provides unparalleled visibility into SaaS applications, enabling IT and security departments to assess and manage risk exposure across their technology landscape. This visibility is crucial for both on-premise applications, which may pose malware risks, and SaaS applications where sensitive data is often stored. As SaaS sprawl and shadow IT continue to grow, this comprehensive detection capability allows enterprises to better understand their cybersecurity risk exposure, vet third-party security practices, and take appropriate precautions. By putting IT departments in control of both discovered and previously hidden applications, Xensam serves as a robust defense against potential security breaches.

Get Alerts on the Installation of Potential Malware

Xensam’s platform evaluates detected applications against an extensive third-party database of known malware, flagging the installation of potentially suspicious applications. The platform enables customizable notifications to relevant stakeholders when potential malware is installed, allowing the threat to be quickly evaluated and the potential malware uninstalled.

Detect Incorrectly Uninstalled Applications

Xensam’s advanced SAM technology also enhances IT security by detecting apps that have not been correctly or entirely uninstalled. These file remnants increase vulnerability to attack, particularly in the case of software editions that have passed their end-of-service or end-of-life dates and are no longer receiving security patches from their manufacturer. Xensam detects these hard-to-find components, enabling complete uninstallation.

Conduct Robust User Off-Boarding

While SaaS applications do not pose uninstallation risks, they expose companies to improper off-boarding risks. Xensam’s platform supports comprehensive user management, including the automatic license cancellation of users who have not utilized an application within a specified time frame. This protects against unmanaged access to sensitive SaaS applications.
