You don't need Microsoft 365 or AWS to be "in the cloud". If your team uses LinkedIn, Google Drive, WhatsApp Web or Dropbox, cloud application risk is already part of your day.

The average company uses nearly 1,000 cloud apps. Not all sanctioned. Not all secure. And most IT teams aren't seeing the full picture.

Free. An engineer looks at your estate. You get the truth.

Shadow IT isn't the exception. It's the norm.

People just want to get their work done. Files over Messenger, folders on personal drives, client chat on WhatsApp Web, all outside company controls.

38% of mid-sized organisations experienced downtime due to misconfigured cloud settings last year; a third suffered malware or ransomware attacks as a result.

It's not malicious. It's everyday behaviour. That's exactly what makes it hard to see.

Start with visibility, not bans

The first step isn't blocking apps. It's knowing what's in use, sanctioned or not, so policy is built on risk, not guesswork.

Some apps are harmless. Others need tighter reins. Set rules by user, app, location or device: limit uploads, downloads, editing rights, whatever fits. No blanket bans. No disruption.

Control beyond the browser

Cloud risk doesn't stop at messaging and storage. If your teams run IaaS or PaaS, you need to know what's running, where, and how it's configured, misconfigured cloud services sit behind some of the most expensive breaches, and most were preventable.

A strong CASB gives you control at both levels: the apps people use and the infrastructure underneath. Browse delivers it without slowing anyone down.
