SaaS Management: CrowdStrike Connector

JumpCloud® SaaS Management gives you visibility and control over shadow IT and SaaS app use within your org. Connectors detect shadow IT without adoption of a browser extension and provide a significant increase to the valuable usage and security insights.

The CrowdStrike Connector retrieves the license list from the CrowdStrike API. Using periodic polling for regular updates, it captures new users to keep data accurate and up-to-date.
