How UiPath Leverages Reco for SaaS Data Exposure Management

UiPath, a global leader in robotic process automation, partnered with Reco to enhance its data exposure management across SaaS platforms like Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, and Google Drive. In the beginning, they were having difficulty understanding the level of data exposure resulting from numerous shared drives, and exposing critical data to unauthorized access in the process.

UiPath initially tried to manage the issue with native Microsoft security tools and their Microsoft Sentinel SIEM. However, gaining a full understanding of UiPath’s SaaS environment was proving impossible with this method, so the Security team decided to look for an alternative solution, which led them to Reco. 

‍

Once Reco was deployed, UiPath was immediately able to gain visibility into over-privileged data access to exposed files across SharePoint, OneDrive, and Google Drive. Reco’s contextual alerts fed into UiPath’s SIEM, and then allowed their automations to appropriately triage and act to reduce their exposure.

Utilizing the posture management and threat detection capabilities provided by the Reco SaaS security platform, UiPath was able to:

• Enhance security posture. They gained visibility into over-privileged access and risky configurations and strengthened identity and access management controls.
• Save time. Automating data exposure remediation efforts saved the team thousands of hours of manual effort, allowing the security team to focus on strategic initiatives instead of tedious tasks.
• Increase the value of existing tools. By integrating Reco with Microsoft Sentinel SIEM, UiPath was able to mitigate risks in real time.
• Reduce data exposure. By implementing the principle of least privilege across multiple SaaS shared drives using automated workflows, UiPath reduced its data exposure.

“We knew the power and capabilities of our robots, and how they could make our Sentinel SIEM more powerful. By automating the access removal process by passing Reco’s contextual detections to our SIEM, we have saved thousands of hours of work, reduced the risk of data exposure across multiple SaaS shared drives, and now continue to reduce data exposure risks. By gaining the intelligence needed to secure our data, we continue toward our constant goal of making digital transformation a reality in this partnership,” said UiPath CIO, Mihai Faur.
