SaaS Sprawl
SaaS sprawl refers to the uncontrolled proliferation of SaaS applications within an organization, often resulting from decentralized decision-making and a lack of centralized oversight. This phenomenon can lead to significant challenges, including increased security vulnerabilities, inefficient use of resources, and difficulties in maintaining compliance with industry regulations. As each department or team independently adopts new SaaS tools, the organization faces a fragmented IT landscape that complicates management and oversight.
