SaaS Harmony: A Dual Approach with DoControl And Nudge Security
In an era where agility defines business success, the rapid adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications has emerged as both a catalyst for innovation and a complex challenge to navigate. At Promethean, our ethos revolves around not just embracing technology but doing so in a way that safeguards our digital frontiers while enabling unrestricted innovation. This principle guides our strategic approach to managing the expansive SaaS ecosystems that power our operations. It's about striking a delicate balance between empowerment and control, innovation and security.
A staggering statistic that often catches many by surprise is the average number of apps a company uses—which is over 300, as highlighted in recent reports. We use over 500 at Promethean! This figure underscores the vastness of the SaaS landscape within organizations and the pressing need for effective management strategies that do not hinder the fluidity of digital workspaces. Enter our strategic partnership with DoControl and Nudge Security, a partnership that marks a significant leap forward in our quest to refine and secure our SaaS infrastructure (and our clients) with minimal friction.
Nudge Security brings unparalleled visibility into SaaS application sprawl to the forefront. Nudge Security provides the foundational layer for strategic decision-making by illuminating every corner of our SaaS usage. This visibility is about identifying what exists and understanding how each application fits into our broader operational and security frameworks. It's the first step in transforming potential digital chaos into a harmonized ecosystem of tools that drive productivity and innovation.
However, visibility alone does not tame the complexity of SaaS management. This is where our partnership with DoControl becomes instrumental. DoControl specializes in automated SaaS workflows and data loss prevention (DLP), offering a robust solution that complements Nudge Security's insights with actionable control. Through DoControl, we automate data governance across our SaaS landscape, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure while facilitating seamless access where and when needed. This automation is key to minimizing security friction, allowing us to enforce rigorous data protection measures without impeding the speed of business.
The harmony between DoControl and Nudge Security embodies Promethean's core tenet of being a technology enabler rather than a blocker. By integrating Nudge Security's comprehensive visibility with DoControl's sophisticated automation and DLP capabilities, we equip ourselves with a dual approach to SaaS management. This approach mitigates risks and enhances operational efficiency, ensuring that our SaaS ecosystem is both a driver of innovation and a bastion of security.
Our commitment to this dual strategy is more than managing SaaS sprawl; it's about redefining our relationship with digital tools. Acknowledging that the path to digital excellence requires more than just adopting technology—it demands a strategic framework that enables safe, effective, and innovative use of SaaS applications. With DoControl and Nudge Security, we're setting new standards for navigating the digital landscape, ensuring that our SaaS ecosystem is managed and optimized for the future of work.
The journey to mastering SaaS complexity is continuous, marked by evolving challenges and opportunities. Our partnership with DoControl and Nudge Security is a testament to our proactive stance on digital stewardship—ensuring that we not only keep pace with technological advancements but do so in a way that safeguards our digital domain and empowers our teams. This is the Promethean way: enabling technology, reducing risk, and keeping security friction to a minimum, all while paving the path for unrestrained innovation.
