Changelog

We’ve upgraded the Nudge Security dashboard with key statistics highlighting your organization’s app usage and a new graph to visualize your SaaS adoption rates. You can also see who within your organization is most likely to experiment by adopting new SaaS products, as well as which apps in your supply chain have been breached.

‍

We’ve released a new playbook to help you equip your employees to engage with AI tools safely. Using the playbook, you can find all the AI tools your employees are using and nudge them to review and accept your AI acceptable use policy. (Note that administrative privileges are required to view and run the playbook.)

‍

With this new functionality you can:

• Discover which AI tools are being used, and by whom.
• Share your AI usage policy as soon as users create AI accounts.
• Automate collection of policy acknowledgement and questions.
• Guide your employees to use AI tools safely and securely.

‍

We’ve enhanced our playbook for employee offboarding with the ability to have multiple active playbooks in progress at the same time. Now, you can start the playbook for one departing employee, save your progress, start one or more others, and go back and forth between them.

‍

‍

Now, you can more easily update statuses or add context to your applications within Nudge Security by selecting and editing multiple apps at once. From the App view, you can bulk edit fields like an application’s labels, category, technical contact, approval status, and compliance scope, among others.

‍

We’ve released a new playbook to automate the process of removing abandoned accounts. Now, you can reduce unnecessary risks by minimizing your attack surface and eliminate wasted SaaS spend on unused accounts. Using the playbook, you can:

• Choose a list of applications to audit all at once, including apps your users may have forgotten about.

• Collect input from your workforce at scale to identify unused accounts.
• Delegate the work of removing unused accounts to app owners. 
• Track your progress toward eliminating wasted spend and unnecessary risk.

When Nudge Security identifies abandoned accounts at your organization, you may need help from a user with administrative privileges for that app to delete them. To help you identify users with admin privileges, Nudge Security automatically designates a technical contact for each application, starting with the first user of that app. You can also reassign technical contacts manually as needed.

‍

Now, Nudge Security has added the ability to nudge technical contacts to assist with deleting or suspending abandoned accounts and reclaiming unused licenses. The technical contact will receive a list of abandoned accounts and instructions to confirm once they have performed the appropriate actions. Once they confirm that the accounts have been removed, the account statuses will be updated automatically within Nudge Security.

‍

Nudge Security has added new ways for you to identify and track whether your employees’ accounts are still active, enabling you to delete abandoned accounts, reclaim unused licenses, and clean up orphaned data. 

‍

Now, when you nudge users to ask if they’re still using an account, their answers will automatically apply account statuses within Nudge Security. In addition, for applications provisioned through SSO, Nudge Security will now automatically mark accounts as inactive after 90 days of inactivity. 

‍

To visualize this information, we’ve added a graph displaying account statues on each application’s overview page that can be changed manually or updated automatically in the following ways: 

‍

• Deleted - User has responded to a nudge saying, “Account has been deleted,” or the account has been marked as deleted through the SOC 2 access review playbook or employee offboarding playbook
• Active - User has responded to a nudge saying, “I’m still using it” or there is still activity in the SSO provider
• Access revoked - Account access has been removed through the employee offboarding playbook
• Abandoned - User has responded to a nudge saying, “No, I’m not using this”‍
• Inactive - App is provisioned through SSO and the account has had no activity for 90 days

‍

Nudge Security provides a variety of editable fields for each application and account in your environment, such as approval status, compliance scope, and SSO provider. Now, we’ve made it easier for you to understand how and when these fields are modified over time. 

‍

Any time a field update occurs, Nudge Security tracks when it happened and which user or automated process initiated it. You can view a timestamped list of each field’s history to understand when changes have occurred and who made them.

‍

We’ve added a new chart showing the rate of adoption for each of your organization’s applications, helping you understand how and when an app has gained traction among your employees. Visualize how your users have adopted an app over time by filtering the chart to see how many users have been added in the last day, week, month, year, or all-time.

‍

We’ve added the ability to export user group data with the addition of an “Export CSV” button on the Groups page. Now, you can download a CSV file containing all of your organization’s groups and each one’s primary email, number of members, number of accounts, and risk score, as well as permissions to join, read messages, and manage members.
