Third-party applications can improve efficiency, but they also introduce hidden risks. Many request excessive access to corporate data, emails, or storage. When employees approve these permissions without caution, attackers can exploit them to steal information or spread malware.
Even apps from official stores may later include malicious updates. Without strict oversight, one compromised app can expose the entire network.
To reduce risk, organizations should:
- Approve only verified apps
- Limit unnecessary permissions
- Monitor app behavior continuously
