AppOmni SaaS & AI Security Platform (SSPM)

AppOmni is a SaaS security company founded in 2018 by Brendan O'Connor and Brian Soby and headquartered in San Mateo, California. It addresses the risk that business data in SaaS applications such as Salesforce, Microsoft 365 and ServiceNow is exposed through misconfigurations, excessive permissions, risky third-party connections and, increasingly, AI agents.

The AppOmni platform is a SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) and AI SaaS security platform that connects to more than 100 SaaS applications through native APIs, with no agents or network changes. It discovers SaaS and AI usage, enforces configuration and access policies, detects threats and agents acting outside their scope, and supports response such as revoking access. Marlin AI correlates events and investigates incidents autonomously, and the platform processes over 78 billion SaaS events per month. Customers include Accenture, PwC, PepsiCo, Cisco and the SANS Institute.

• SaaS discovery: Identifies SaaS apps, AI tools and shadow agents in use across the organization.
• Posture management: Checks configurations and permissions in apps such as Salesforce, Microsoft 365 and Workday.
• Threat detection: Detects anomalies, risky logins and agents acting outside their scope.
• Marlin AI: Correlates events and investigates incidents autonomously.
• AgentGuard: Protects AI agents, including those built on ServiceNow, in real time.
• SaaS compliance: Maps controls to SOC 2, NIST CSF, HIPAA, ISO 27001 and APRA 234.

An insurance company using Salesforce can detect public sharing settings that expose customer records. A bank with Microsoft 365 can monitor risky logins and third-party apps granted access to email and files. A large enterprise rolling out ServiceNow AI agents can inventory them and restrict what data they can reach.

Security teams gain one view of configurations, users and third-party connections across more than 100 SaaS applications instead of auditing each admin console. API-based deployment needs no agents, hardware or network changes, so rollout is fast. Continuous checks map settings to frameworks such as SOC 2, NIST CSF, HIPAA and ISO 27001, simplifying audits. Visibility into AI agents and shadow AI helps prevent sensitive data leaking through new AI features in SaaS tools.

Companies now hold much of their customer, HR and financial data in dozens of SaaS applications, and several large breaches have come from stolen SaaS credentials or misconfigured sharing. SaaS vendors are adding AI agents that can access this data, creating a new governance gap. Vietnamese enterprises using Microsoft 365, Salesforce and other SaaS tools face the same need to control configurations and third-party access.

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Mateo, California. Backers named on the site include Cisco Investments, Salesforce Ventures, ServiceNow, Thoma Bravo and Scale Venture Partners. The platform received FedRAMP authorization and was named a Growth and Innovation Leader in the Frost Radar 2025 for SSPM.
