Your Traditional Security Controls Miss the Hidden Risks of Shadow IT
The Real Risk Isn't Just Unapproved Apps. It's What They Connect To
The SaaS Security Gap starts with shadow IT. Traditional discovery tools only see what's federated - Reco sees everything.
Invisible App Sprawl
42% of SaaS applications exist as shadow IT, operating completely outside IT governance and security oversight.
Unauthorized AI Tools
80% of employees use unauthorized AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and copilots that access sensitive company data.
Hidden OAuth Connections
Third-party apps gain excessive permissions through OAuth flows, creating backdoors that persist for years undetected.
SaaS-to-SaaS Risk Chains
Shadow apps connect to sanctioned applications, creating hidden data pathways that amplify breach impact exponentially.
Unmonitored Agent Access
Unsanctioned AI agents bypass security controls, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive company data across multiple applications.

Before we got Reco we didn't know how bad the problem was. And now with Reco, I see how bad the problem is, and how we have to stem the tide. Because every day I am literally having to figure out if I'm sanctioning this project, this application or not sanctioning it.
What I like about Reco is not so much their specific capabilities, but rather their approach to solving the problem. The integration effort is huge. What Reco solves is the ease of creating integrations.
You have a single pane of glass through which you can get as deep an understanding as you want. Every click takes you to a different place, and you can understand the entire story of that user.
What is shadow IT threat mitigation in SaaS environments?
Shadow IT threat mitigation is the process of discovering, assessing, and securing unsanctioned applications that employees use without IT approval.
• Identifies all shadow SaaS applications, AI tools, and third-party integrations
• Assesses risk based on data access, permissions, and vendor security posture
• Deploys governance policies across your entire SaaS ecosystem
How does Reco discover unsanctioned applications that bypass IT visibility?
Reco uses multiple discovery sensors to find shadow apps that traditional security tools miss.
• Analyzes email metadata to detect SaaS application signup confirmations and notifications
• Monitors OAuth applications connected to core platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
• Tracks browser activity and SSO logs to identify federated and unfederated appsAI agents correlate discovery signals to eliminate false positives and duplicates
It finds shadow apps even when they're not connected through your identity provider.
How does automated shadow IT threat mitigation reduce security and compliance risks?
Automated mitigation streamlines the process of securing shadow IT at scale.
• Continuous discovery ensures new shadow apps are identified immediately
• AI agents automatically classify apps and route high-risk findings to security teams
• Automated governance policies can block, monitor, or request approval for specific app categories
• Integration with ticketing systems enables workflow automation for app review processes
• Performance monitoring and impact assessment after deployment
What happens when employees connect unauthorized tools to sensitive data?
Unauthorized tools create significant security and compliance risks by bypassing established controls.
• Sensitive data flows to unvetted third-party services without encryption or access controls
• Shadow apps often lack proper security configurations, MFA, or audit logging
• OAuth permissions grant excessive access that persists even after employees leave
• Cross-application data flows create hidden risk chains
Organizations with unmanaged shadow IT face 3x higher risk of data breaches.
How does Reco prioritize shadow IT risks for faster remediation?
Reco uses AI-powered risk assessment to help teams focus on the highest-priority threats first.
• Evaluates each shadow app's permissions, data access, and integration points
• Incorporates vendor security ratings and compliance certifications
• AI agents provide business context including who uses the app and for what purpose
• Risk scoring considers regulatory requirements and data sensitivity classifications
This ensures security teams address critical risks first while enabling low-risk business tools.
What's the best approach to addressing shadow IT without slowing down productivity?
The most effective approach balances security with business enablement rather than blanket blocking.
• Discover and assess before enforcing to understand why employees choose shadow tools
• Provide sanctioned alternatives that meet business needs with proper security controls
• Use AI agents to distinguish between high-risk shadow apps and low-risk productivity tools
