Challenge:
Unencumbered by legacy systems, it embraced SaaS apps, and G Suite in particular, to scale. But as BuzzFeed’s use of SaaS grew, so did its need for greater visibility into the SaaS applications in its environment.
Solution:
- Implemented BetterCloud to manage and secure user actions, including bulk updates to Google Groups
- Automated manual tasks associated with offboarding, replacing a spreadsheet
- Enforced a password policy that requires users to change their G Suite password every three months
- Explored third-party applications using the Apps Audit feature
Results:
- Increased the productivity of the IT department
- Enhanced visibility into application settings and user configurations across SaaS applications
- Strengthened security posture
