Google SSO

Google provides the ability that enables users to sign into apps frictionlessly using their Google accounts.

Google is a valuable source for discovery as it provides the ability to quickly discover services and users lately logging into allowed apps.

Service Discovery

Google SSO Discover Integration will detect token authorizations from various types of clients (from Web to Native Desktop clients, as per Google docs).

Results are then passed over our matcher to identify which of the authorizations are actually SaaS related.

🚧

Important

Google only discovers new services iteratively by pulling data from Login Activity Reports. Therefore, in order to detect a new service we need to receive a login event to that service.

For newly discovered service, user account activity is detected after the next login event is received for that service.
