How does Lavawall discover SaaS use without an agent on every browser?

It reviews email metadata against a carefully curated list of 1,277 known SaaS applications. That approach limits false positives and tells you how many people use a service and exactly who they are, without scraping browsing history.

Why is my firewall's app list not enough?

A firewall shows thousands of different applications your users might be touching, with no sense of which ones hold company data or who actually signed up. That noise makes real governance impossible. Lavawall turns it into a named, prioritized picture.

Can it see AI coding assistants and agents on our computers?

Yes. On managed Windows computers, Lavawall lists the AI coding assistants and agent tools in use, the folders they can reach, and set-ups worth a second look, such as tools that act without asking permission.

Does this help with rogue AI and shadow IT?

Yes. Unsanctioned AI tools and shadow SaaS are exactly what the discovery surfaces: which services are in use, and by whom, so you can sanction, block, or bring them under governance.

SaaS data governance

Rogue AI? Shadow IT? Now you can see it.

Lavawall® reviews email metadata against a curated list of 1,277 SaaS applications to show how many people, and exactly who, use each service. Your firewall shows thousands of apps and tells you nothing useful. Named users are what turn governance from guesswork into action.

From noise to a named list

Curated to cut false positives

Matching against 1,277 known SaaS applications keeps false positives down, so the list you review is real usage rather than every domain a browser ever touched.

Who, not just how many

See the actual people using each service. That’s the difference between “something’s out there” and a conversation you can act on.

Catch rogue AI early

Unsanctioned AI tools are the fastest-growing shadow-IT risk. Discovery surfaces them so you can sanction, block, or govern before company data walks out the door.

See the AI agents on your computers

Coding assistants and AI agents can read files and run commands on the computers they are installed on. Lavawall lists the ones found on your managed Windows computers, the folders they can reach, and the set-ups worth a second look, so you can tighten them before they cause a problem.

Governance you can defend

Turn discovery into policy: approve what belongs, retire what doesn’t, and show an auditor you actually know where your data lives.
