DoControl Releases Its SaaS Security Platform on AWS Marketplace

DoControl | February 03, 2023

On February 2, 2023, DoControl, a leading automated software-as-a-service (SaaS) security provider, announced the release of its no-code SaaS security platform on AWS Marketplace, an online catalog that simplifies the provisioning, procurement, and governance of third-party data, software and services. The platform enables joint customers to better protect their business-critical assets by setting up a foundational layer of preventative data access security controls directly through the AWS Marketplace. Individual SaaS applications' native security features are usually poor and do not provide a consistent way to apply data access controls across all SaaS application types. DoControl provides a single security strategy that centralizes the enforcement of least privilege - beyond the network, identity, and device levels - across the entire estate of an enterprise's SaaS applications. Customers with AWS deployments may now use DoControl solutions to safeguard all shared data and files accessed by every identity or entity, including internal employees, third-party collaborators, and third-party OAuth applications. On average, an enterprise has approximately 200 applications in use, with hundreds or thousands of internal and external collaborators. Therefore, data security is of utmost importance across these applications (file-sharing, file storage, messaging, and so on), as breaches can result in lost revenue, severe brand damage, regulatory fines and other financial consequences. DoControl offers SaaS asset management, continuous monitoring, and automated security workflows to security and IT teams to prevent data breaches. In addition, DoControl lowers the physical toil and complexity that security and IT professionals face on a daily basis by replacing manual effort with automation. About DoControl Founded in 2020, DoControl is a No-Code SaaS Security Platform that provides organizations with automated, self-service tools needed for SaaS applications data access monitoring, orchestration, and remediation. It takes a distinctive, customer-focused approach to the labor-intensive challenge of security risk management and data exfiltration prevention in popular SaaS applications. DoControl helps lower the work overload and complexity that Security and IT teams face on a daily basis by replacing manual work with automation. The company is backed by investors, including StageOne Ventures, Insight Partners, RTP Global, Cardumen Capital, and CrowdStrike's CrowdStrike Falcon Fund.
