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.

Identity governance has unified access control and now cuts audit workload across the company
The layer that I hear from my employees the most is pretty recent, I would say, maybe nine or ten months ago. That is the AI assistant, which I mean I am in this industry a long time and I am used to the fact you always need to go and learn query languages and work with professional services to understand pretty basic questions. Today, you can use the platform to run simple text questions. My employees talk about that as a cloud within Linx Security. The ease of use of asking questions and also asking the platform to take action is something that was very new to us. One of the things we were doing with that is automating our user access reviews through a very simple dashboard instead of working on our spreadsheets. That was a big benefit for us in the past year. It helped me reduce man-hours when it comes to analyzing the access. Once we were starting also to implement the user access reviews, that of course, reduced the man-hours. That is the main area at the beginning. I also got much better visibility on the overall posture of my identities, and I am being asked by auditors or cyber insurance reports to provide where we are on users. That gave me a very good place to be with my board and auditors. I would say reducing the work on my team was significant. There was also a point in time in which we were able to reduce the number of licenses that we are using on some applications, which was also a cost reduction. Nowadays, I mentioned the agents part, we are being asked about our controls around that area. Having a tool that can give some value in these areas gives me a lot of confidence and also our leadership that we are deploying agents in a responsible way. What gave them the perfect score, and I have been using other platforms in the past, is the fact that I can use one platform to cover humans, non-humans, and now agents. On the cost side, I feel I am making a good financial decision. On top of that, I would say that they are very quick to provide new features, to respond to our tickets. It seems that at least in the past two to three years, they were providing cutting-edge solutions.
