Avanan's Approach to Shadow IT in Avanan

Based on email analysis (Office 365 and/or Gmail), Avanan gives you a direct line of sight into cloud applications in use at your company.

Avanan identifies emails from cloud applications to users that suggest they have been using a cloud application. For example, emails containing messages such as "Thank you for registering" or "You have a notification" suggest that a user has been using a cloud application. When such an email is detected in a user's mailbox, a security event is created with the type of Shadow IT.

Avanan inspects all licensed users' emails for Shadow IT.
