With browser-based discovery and SaaS usage tracking, it detects unsanctioned apps employees adopt outside official IT channels. Every app is tied back to users and devices, giving visibility into spend, risk, and duplication. Automated alerts flag unauthorized tools, while policy enforcement and deprovisioning workflows help IT regain control quickly. Combined with license management and audit trails, AssetSonar turns Shadow IT discovery into a proactive practice—helping organizations cut hidden costs, reduce risk exposure, and strengthen license compliance without slowing down innovation.
