The SaaS Security Report provides valuable data to help you assess risks posted by unsanctioned SaaS apps. To retrieve this data, you must first generate the report. The processing time depends on the size of your data set. If the report does not generate promptly, choose a smaller time frame to reduce your data set. After processing completes, the report is automatically emailed to you as a PDF attachment. You can also download the report by clicking on the report link in the SaaS Security web interface; if the link is not active, reload your browser to display the active link.
The SaaS Security Report provides a snapshot of SaaS app usage with advanced aggregated data and views. Use the SaaS Security Report to assess the risks associated with your SaaS apps and take action to reduce your organization’s business and security risks. This report serves as a communication tool between your SaaS security team and executive management. You can share this on-demand PDF report with your SaaS security team for a periodic check-in, or email the report to your executives to highlight the SaaS apps in use in your organization and the security risks they pose.
The report includes the following summary information for the SaaS apps in your network:
  • Overall SaaS app, user, and usage metrics for SaaS apps that are in use in your organization, including risk distribution and SaaS app traffic.
  • Categories with the most usage.
  • Most risky SaaS apps.
  • Unsanctioned and tolerated SaaS apps with highest volume usage.
  • SaaS apps with the least number of users.
  • The riskiest content management apps.
  • The riskiest collaboration and productivity apps.
  • The top AI apps by usage.
All reports are emailed as PDF attachments. For performance reasons, there is a limit to the number of reports you can generate: each administrator can generate 10 reports per day. If you reach this limit, wait one day for your report limit to reset. You can delete the reports you generate, but doing so does not reset your report limit. The web interface displays all reports generated by all administrators, and you can download any report created by another administrator; if an existing report’s time frame meets your reporting needs, consider using that report before generating a new one. SaaS Security Inline does not automatically purge any reports.
