Secure Web & SaaS Governance

Stop SaaS Sprawl Before It Stops You

The problem

Shadow IT, unsanctioned SaaS, and unchecked AI tools have quietly reshaped your threat surface. Employees adopt cloud apps and generative AI platforms beyond the reach of traditional controls—moving regulated data through browsers, plugins, and personal tenants. 

Legacy gateways and network-based CASBs lose visibility the moment traffic bypasses the perimeter. Sensitive uploads, public cloud shares, and Shadow AI usage slip through unnoticed—until the breach, audit finding, or fine makes it visible.

the impact

When SaaS runs wild, risk multiplies fast

Every unmanaged SaaS app increases your attack surface. Personal logins to corporate platforms enable silent data exfiltration. AI plugins introduce unknown processing paths for regulated data. 

Unauthorized cloud and AI usage isn’t just policy drift—it’s exposure to data loss, compliance penalties, and operational disruption that compounds with every off-network session.

Most CISOs and IT leaders agree that generative AI use is expanding, with Shadow AI adding unknown risks. One leading analyst organization predicts that a majority of workers will soon ignore their organizations’ security policies and use an AI platform of their choice to perform tasks.

Secure web & SaaS access FAQs

It can, but it also enhances it. Absolute integrates CASB functionality with endpoint enforcement, covering gaps when users go off-network.

Yes. Tenant control allows corporate logins while blocking personal accounts on the same device.

Traditional SWGs rely on traffic flowing through a gateway. Absolute enforces policies directly at the endpoint—even when traffic bypasses the network.

You gain visibility into AI platforms and plugins in use and can block, isolate, or govern them based on policy.

Yes. Endpoint-enforced policies remain active even without internet connectivity.

No. Because Absolute technology is embedded in the firmware of most enterprise PCs, activation is streamlined and fast.

Yes. Policies allow granular control—download permitted, upload restricted—based on context and sensitivity.
