    Hey HN, TL;DR: We’ve launched a free version of our Shadow IT scanner to identify which SaaS apps are used in your company, who uses them, and if they have high-risk OAuth scopes.

For a bootstrapped business, this can be problematic, for instance when a surge of logs - indicating a possible important problem that…
