Over the past two years, there has been a significant increase in nation-state attacks leveraging OAuth apps. These attacks often serve as entry points for privilege escalation, lateral movement, and damage. To effectively mitigate these risks, security teams need visibility and control over SaaS apps including GenAI apps to ensure that only trusted and compliant apps are in use.

Join one of these workshops to learn:

  • Real-world examples of OAuth attacks
  • New pre-built templates and custom rules to simplify app governance
  • How to quickly identify and mitigate risks from high-risk or suspicious apps
  • Best practices for operationalizing app governance to improve your security posture

These workshops are designed to accommodate global participation, with flexible date and time options.

Who Should Attend:

This training is ideal for anyone interested in securing OAuth apps and improving their organization’s overall SaaS security.

More about app governance

App governance in Defender for Cloud Apps is a set of security and policy management capabilities designed for OAuth-enabled apps registered on Microsoft Entra ID, Google, and Salesforce. App governance delivers visibility, remediation, and governance into how these apps and their users access, use, and share sensitive data in Microsoft 365 and other cloud platforms through actionable insights and automated policy alerts and actions.

 

App governance also enables you to see which user-installed OAuth applications have access to data on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce. It tells you what permissions the apps have, and which users have granted access to their accounts.

Getting started with App governance

View the App Governance> Overview tab in the Microsoft Defender Portal. Your sign-in account must have one of the administrator roles to view any app governance data. For more information, see Turn on app governance for Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
