We help detect the presence of unsafe, unlicensed and unauthorized software.
The applications installed on the devices of the employees may not be in order for several reasons: they are not authorized by the company policies, they may present critical security issues or not comply with the uses provided by the license agreement.
These elements of risk are often interdependent and the origin is to attribute to the difficulties of the IT in monitoring the installations, especially with the introduction of BYOD and the self-procurement facilitated by models of supply and subscription “as-a-service”.
The lack of control has consequences: penalties for negligent conduct in the case of unlicensed software installations , licenses not adequate for the use or technological infrastructure to be remedied with costly alignment costs, undetected vulnerabilities in pirated or unauthorized software that hackers can easily exploit (and to say that sometimes a simple update is enough!)
We help companies detect unsafe, unlicensed, and unauthorized applications by monitoring software usage in real time and making a risk assessment.
We work to reduce it with mitigation interventions, even automated: our intervention allows to heal and optimize any incorrect use and reduce the possibility of attacks and data loss due to unmanaged software.

The fact that there is no longer a defined perimeter makes monitoring of uses more complicated: shadow IT has a hidden cost that is manifested during vendor audits and external attacks.
The verification and the consequent mitigation of the non-compliant, unauthorized and unsafe uses of the software are performed manually, but the interventions are not timely due to the long time required.
Vulnerabilities and risk factors can be related to different causes, it is important to detect them and prioritize them according to severity, in order to be able to take appropriate action with the respective correction and mitigation workflows.
Licenses are not always adeguate: there may be unforeseen uses (see indirect access not properly licensed), infrastructure to be reviewed according to licensing, applications and plans not optimized for employee purposes.

License analysis and optimization
Set up self-service procurement platforms
Given our experience of Workplace Management, we can centralize the management of the devices favoring the automatic application of stringent policies for the installation of untraceable applications and make available to the people portals BYOD self-service, from which they can independently distribute applications in a safe, controlled and tracked way.
To help companies understand whether there is noncompliant software in their IT environment, WEGG adopts the following strategy:
Rather than relying on multiple single and fragmented solutions, we provide a platform that integrates and normalizes data from multiple inventory sources. With full visibility of all devices, users, and applications, we know what cloud applications and services are being used, how they are used, and by which users. We make sure, at a later stage, to reconcile the usage data with the contract law: with the data related to financial and legal management in a single point, the match is soon done. We identify at a glance where there are discoveries, meaning installations not covered by license or or unauthorized.
Risk estimation and mitigation
Having up-to-date inventories of IT assets allows us to make a risk estimation. We can easily identify potential software vulnerabilities, possible costs associated with unlicensed installations or which applications contain personal data, to minimize cybersecurity and compliance risks. We can set up continuous verification systems and prioritize the risks according to their severity: the reports produced can go to feed automatisms of threat correction, such as patch distribution, block malicious software, the return of the installations not traced in the management perimeter.
License analysis and optimization
We do not limit ourselves to identifying software uses that are not in order. Our analysis allows you to optimize license management: we understand when licenses are not commensurate with business needs (e.g. higher usage than need) or existing infrastructure and we propose alternatives that are validated by scientific methods of identifying the best license. We offer our expertise during comparisons with software vendors when auditing and renegotiating contracts, to remedy and optimize uncovered or inadequate contracts.
