The platform provides comprehensive SaaS and AI security solutions that protect sensitive data, uncover shadow AI apps, and ensure compliance across your digital ecosystem. 

New Bundles to Strengthen SaaS and AI Posture 

Unveiled at the Black Hat Hacker Conference, AppOmni’s new product bundles come with a 90-day promotional free trial of its Foundations package. This starter bundle also includes tools for Shadow AI and SaaS discovery, identity security, threat detection, and a SaaS security co-pilot powered by AI. With support for 30 new applications, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Cisco Secure Access, and ChatGPT Enterprise, the platform is engineered for modern risk environments. 

Shadow AI Exposure and Control 

One of the core innovations in this launch is the ability to expose shadow AI—unauthorised or unsanctioned AI tools operating within the SaaS ecosystem. As AI increasingly becomes embedded in platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, many organisations are unaware of the data access these tools have. AppOmni provides visibility and policy-based controls to mitigate this emerging threat. 

Three Tiers to Match Every Maturity Level 

AppOmni has rolled out three curated packages designed to meet companies at different stages of SaaS security maturity: 

  • Foundations: Designed for newcomers to SaaS security, it focuses on discovering shadow SaaS and AI tools, understanding permissions, and detecting anomalous activity. It comes with a free 90-day trial and a SaaS/AI attack surface assessment. 
  • Advanced: Best suited for large organisations needing more sophisticated threat detection and security posture management tools. 
  • Enterprise: For highly mature companies, this tier offers deep integration with existing security stacks and granular control over SaaS risk management. 

AI Copilot and Threat Detection Innovation 

The platform now includes AskOmni, an AI-powered SaaS security assistant, and the industry-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. These tools enable continuous monitoring of GenAI platforms, threat detection, and response mechanisms tailored to the evolving AI threat landscape.

Mark Butler, CISO at Trace3, said: “The ability to discover, analyse, and secure the expanding landscape of SaaS and AI applications is a game-changer.”
