Discovering SaaS services

As part of SaaS native data protection, R‑Cloud allows you to discover all SaaS services to which you are subscribed and map them by using R-Graph. This helps you to understand the scope of protected and unprotected SaaS data, and to use R‑Cloud to establish the data protection environment according to your business needs.

SaaS service discovery starts automatically after you allow R‑Cloud to access the required SaaS service information by configuring an identity provider for SaaS service discovery in R‑Cloud. After your SaaS services are discovered, you can explore R-Graph, a visual representation of your SaaS data protection environment, which enables you to quickly gain insight into the status of your SaaS application data protection. For details, see Exploring R-Graph.
