Automated SaaS access governance has reduced OAuth risks and improves audit readiness
The best features are deep OAuth app visibility, real-time risk detection, automated remediation, risk scoring and prioritization, and SaaS-to-SaaS threat detection. The real-time risk detection and alerts have benefited us the most. Astrix continuously monitors connections and third-party apps, flagging high-risk applications automatically when risky permission, suspicious behavior, or unusual access patterns are detected. This helped us considerably. Since deploying Astrix, we've seen a 42% reduction in high-risk third-party OAuth apps, a 65% reduction in dormant SaaS integration, faster vendor offboarding from days to an hour, and improved audit readiness. The faster offboarding has been transformative. Before Astrix, offboarding was mostly manual and checklist-driven. When an employee or vendor left, we would disable their primary account, remove them from groups, manually review shared drives, and try to identify third-party apps they had authorized. After Astrix, it is centralized, automated, and immediate.

Threat intelligence has consistently minimized downtime and safeguarded revenue
Fortinet FortiGuard's machine learning capabilities contribute to our cybersecurity by performing numerous predictions and assessing possibilities, enabling us to prepare ahead for potential incidents. I have benefited from automated threat response, which is absolutely brilliant because if we have to go through logs to see what is going on, we would never finish. Automating these things allows alerts to be given so we can concentrate effort on critical areas, helping us to optimize our resources effectively. We are also looking at automating the response, where response can be automated, and then we can focus on forensic investigations to understand what happened and see whether we need to tweak the automation to make it work better. The benefits I gain from using Fortinet FortiGuard include peace of mind. It has contributed to ensuring that we are always available and can meet our availability targets. This means that productivity is maintained, and revenues will rake in as planned. The moment something gets through and causes a breach, likely causing downtime, it means you're losing money.
