Lumos Launches App Governance Platform to Streamline IT, Strengthen Security, and Cut Costs

Lumos has launched the App Governance Platform, a solution that automates access requests, enforces least privilege, and eliminates extra SaaS spending while strengthening security. The App Governance Platform is an innovative security solution that can help organizations lower their SaaS costs and improve their security at the same time. With Lumos' App Governance Platform, organizations have the ability to easily control which users have access to which SaaS applications.

The platform provides visibility into app usage, entitlements, and spending, giving customers the power to control licenses and cloud permissions. This platform makes it easier to give access to apps, keep track of who has access, and take access away. The App Governance Platform makes security easier and stronger while lowering SaaS costs. It does this by automating access requests, enforcing least privilege, and monitoring usage.

The platform aims to remove technology silos between IT, security, compliance, and finance and help IT leaders transform the company's SaaS stack into a capital-efficient one. The CEO of Lumos says the platform helps IT leaders build an efficient infrastructure for businesses to run smoothly and securely while meeting the demands of the CFO. Mark Jaques, Director of Information Security at Vox Media, says Lumos is a "game changer" that will help drive costs down, increase security, and automate IT tickets.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is answer to challenges that telecoms must face in a time of rapidly changing market requirements, but it is not easy to adapt immediately. Many requirements can be solved by experienced experts. Unfortunately, access to their knowledge is increasingly limited, their education is usually expensive, there are not enough of them, and they are not always able to respond with sufficient speed.
