What is Unapproved App Monitor?
The Unapproved App Monitor is a tool that detects unauthorized or unapproved software applications (often referred to as Shadow IT) being used within an organization. It sends real-time alerts when users access or install unapproved tools.
Why it Matters
Shadow IT can introduce security risks, compliance issues, and inefficiencies by bypassing IT governance. This monitor helps organizations stay on top of these risks and enforce policies by alerting them to unauthorized apps in use.
Benefits
- Detects and flags unauthorized apps
- Improves security by minimizing Shadow IT risks
- Helps enforce company policies on app usage
- Provides visibility into unsanctioned software adoption
