Let’s look at how CloudEagle.ai complements your options with Okta and SailPoint, including its features and benefits.

1. Automate onboarding and offboarding

Employee onboarding and offboarding are crucial for any organization’s growth and security. However, not all tools provide what is needed for a structured experience when employees join or leave. Tools like Okta or SailPoint may not fully meet your organization's needs.

However, integrating CloudEagle.ai with these tools streamlines the process significantly. CloudEagle.ai automates user management tasks, ensuring a smooth onboarding and offboarding experience.

When a new employee joins, using CloudEagle.ai’s auto-provisioning workflows, you can assign them the necessary apps, providing access from day one. It also recommends tools based on the employee’s department, using previous data to optimize the setup and ensure a smooth onboarding experience.

‍

‍

Conversely, when employees leave, using the tool's auto-deprovisioning workflows removes their access to various tools, managing both federated and non-federated applications.

‍

‍

This automation minimizes delays, reduces administrative burdens, and lowers the risk of unauthorized access, ensuring that access rights are always up-to-date and accurate.

2. License harvesting

Organizations typically use over 371 software apps, each with different licensing tiers—from beginner to professional and enterprise levels. Unfortunately, many organizations pay for unused software licenses, leading to unnecessary costs.

While tools like Okta and SailPoint help manage access, they don’t effectively identify or address unused licenses. This is where CloudEagle.ai comes in.

‍

‍

The tool tackles this issue through license harvesting, identifying and reclaiming unused or underutilized licenses across various apps. The tool analyzes usage data to provide insight into how each license is utilized.

‍

‍

With this information, IT admins can take proactive steps to eliminate waste. If a license is unused, CloudEagle.ai allows administrators to revoke it and reassign it to another employee who needs it.

3. Access reviews

Regular access reviews are important for keeping your organization secure and compliant, but they can be a hassle and take time. Access reviews are key to determining who has access to specific resources and if that access is still needed.

Regularly checking access rights helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information, meet regulatory audit requirements, and ensure employees only have access to what they need.

Many organizations use different tools for access reviews, leading to confusion and security gaps. This makes it harder to understand access rights across the board.

Unlike Okta or Sailpoint, which need extra licensing costs for specific review features, CloudEagle.ai offers a complete solution that streamlines everything. This way, organizations can easily check who has access to what, quickly fix any issues, and reduce the chances of unauthorized access.

4. Enhanced security through centralized control

Managing ungoverned applications poses a significant challenge for organizations, as these applications often lack proper oversight and can create security risks. CloudEagle.ai enhances the accuracy of identifying these applications by correlating user accounts and access rights across various platforms.

By integrating with systems such as single sign-on (SSO), financial systems, human resource information systems (HRIS), and browser plugins, the tool creates a comprehensive view of user behavior. This integration enables organizations to pinpoint applications not governed by IT policies, revealing potential security gaps.

With this detailed visibility, organizations can proactively address these gaps, enforce better access controls, and reduce associated risks. Ultimately, CloudEagle.ai helps ensure all applications are appropriately managed, enhancing overall security and compliance.

5. Enhanced accuracy in finding ungoverned apps

CloudEagle.ai centralizes control over user access and activity logs. It gives organizations a clear view of user behavior across all applications. By storing all logs in CloudEagle.ai, security teams can easily monitor and analyze access patterns.

‍

‍

With all user activity in one place, it’s simpler to spot unusual behavior, like a user logging in from a different location, which could signal a potential threat. These logs help teams identify issues by analyzing patterns, such as multiple failed login attempts or odd access times.

When incidents happen, having all access logs centralized speeds up response times. Teams can quickly gather data to understand the threat and take appropriate action. Regularly reviewing access logs helps organizations improve their security by adjusting policies and adding safeguards.

6. Enhanced threat detection and response capabilities

CloudEagle.ai helps organizations find and respond to threats more effectively, especially regarding Shadow IT. This phenomena refers to using applications not approved by the IT department, which can create security risks.

With CloudEagle.ai, the IT team can continuously monitor what users do across all applications. This means they can quickly spot any unauthorized apps employees might use. For example, if someone starts using a new app that the IT team doesn’t know about, CloudEagle.ai can alert them immediately.

‍

‍

Organizations can understand their potential risks by tracking how these apps are being used. This helps protect sensitive information, like customer data or confidential company documents. If an unauthorized app is found, the IT team can take action, like blocking access or working with employees to find safer alternatives.

Additionally, keeping track of these apps helps ensure everyone follows security rules. Employees using approved software reduces the chances of data breaches and other security problems. CloudEagle.ai makes it easier for organizations to comply with security policies and protect their valuable information.

7. Improve IT efficiency

CloudEagle.ai greatly improves IT efficiency by cutting down on administrative tasks. With the ability to manage all applications from one dashboard, IT teams can automate many routine user management tasks.

This consolidation saves time and lets IT staff concentrate on more important projects instead of getting stuck in repetitive work. For example, instead of manually adding or removing user access for multiple apps, they can set up automated processes that handle this for them.

By streamlining these processes, CloudEagle.ai helps organizations work more efficiently. This means that resources are used better, and IT teams can spend more time on strategic initiatives that drive the organization forward, like improving security or planning for new technologies.

8. Enhanced accuracy in determining user access rights

Having accurate access rights is essential for security. CloudEagle.ai continuously analyzes user roles and permissions to ensure access aligns with each person’s current job responsibilities. This proactive approach helps stop unnecessary access, which is when users get more permissions over time without a good reason.

For example, if someone changes jobs within the organization, their access should also change to match their new role. CloudEagle.ai ensures that users only keep the permissions they need to do their jobs effectively. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information.

‍

‍

By maintaining accurate access rights, organizations improve their overall security. When users have just the right permissions, it helps protect important data and reduces the chances of security breaches. In short, CloudEagle.ai helps organizations manage user access more effectively, ensuring everyone has the access they need without unnecessary risks.

9. Real-time monitoring of user activity

Real-time monitoring is really important for keeping organizational data safe. CloudEagle.ai helps organizations watch users' actions, creating detailed records that help everyone stay accountable.

This means teams can see who did what if something goes wrong, making it easier to figure out what happened. This allows them to follow their rules and stay compliant.

Also, when teams can see what’s happening in real-time, they can quickly spot potential problems. If they notice something suspicious, they can quickly fix it before it worsens.

10. Automated report generation for regulatory requirements

Keeping up with regulatory requirements can be complicated and time-consuming. CloudEagle.ai makes this much easier by automating the report generation process.

The tool offers reports that help analyze key areas, including spend visibility, renewal management, budgeting, app visibility, app access, shadow IT, spend optimization, and low usage. These accurate, up-to-date, and easy-to-access reports help the IT team understand where resources are allocated and how applications are used.
