Track use of unapproved collaboration tools
Unauthorized SaaS tools and shadow collaboration apps offer an easy route for data to exit the organization. A file uploaded to a personal Dropbox folder or pasted into a public Slack channel is as much exfiltration as a malicious script. The issue is compounded when employees are unaware that their tools lack encryption or logging.
The best data exfiltration prevention is automated visibility. With AI-native code analysis and cloud integrations, Snyk helps teams detect unapproved dependencies, credentials in source code, or API calls to non-sanctioned apps. When developers use open source plugins or invoke external services, security can verify, in context, if those actions put data at risk.
