Savvy

Savvy is a cybersecurity company that provides a SaaS security platform designed to address the challenges associated with the rapid adoption of SaaS applications in enterprises. The company's core offering is a Workforce Security Automation platform that aims to eliminate workforce-initiated security incidents involving SaaS applications. Savvy's technology works by implementing just-in-time security guardrails directly into the user workspace, functioning as a pop-up security copilot. This system provides real-time alerts and suggestive guidance to improve user decision-making when interacting with SaaS applications.

The platform is installed as a browser extension, allowing it to monitor and alert users about potentially insecure actions on desktop or laptop computers. For example, it can warn users before they submit sensitive data to applications like ChatGPT. On the back end, security teams can create workflows with automation playbooks that trigger when users take certain actions. Savvy's platform also offers visibility into applications not connected to single sign-on (SSO) and cases where users sign in directly with reused, shared, or compromised corporate credentials, which are often undetectable by traditional network security controls.

In January 2024, Savvy announced its Identity-First Security offering, which uncovers risks created by a combination of identity access management (IAM) permissions, user behavior, and business context. This solution aims to discover and remediate the most significant identity risks in real-time, addressing issues such as rogue administrators, compromised accounts, shadow identities, lack of multi-factor authentication, shared accounts, incomplete offboarding, and risky credentials.
