Browser extensions are a great resource for enhancing the capabilities, features, and usability of modern web browsers. However, with these additional capabilities come added risks to security and privacy in the environment. Risky or unsanctioned SaaS apps or browser extensions can spy on you, steal your data, launch ransomware attacks, and even lead to compliance violations. In fact, the Spin.AI research team found that nearly 43,000 marketplace extensions have unknown authors and there are millions of non-marketplace browser extensions. Spin.AI risk assessment offers a solution that helps organizations meet the challenges of using these integrations in a way that is controlled, governed, and secure.

While SaaS applications enable collaboration and efficiency, this new level of accessibility is also a double-edged sword. Unsanctioned SaaS apps introduce the risk of Shadow IT – putting critical data at risk such as data breach, data loss, and even ransomware attacks. Spin.AI’s automated risk assessment provides full visibility and control over unsanctioned SaaS apps that can be allowed or blocked in a matter of seconds based on the security risk score that best aligns with a company’s security policies and business needs. SecOps teams can use it to reduce application risk assessment time from two weeks manually, to five minutes automatically.
