AppOmni Turns AI Companion AskOmni into a SaaS Security Powerhouse for the Modern Enterprise

AppOmni, a SaaS security provider, is moving aggressively to plug one of cybersecurity’s biggest gaps: fractured enterprise visibility. The company has announced that AskOmni, its AI-driven SaaS security companion, has been upgraded to operate as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server—an open source interface standard designed to make AI agents smarter by connecting them directly to external systems.

In practical terms, this means AskOmni can now integrate seamlessly with major enterprise security ecosystems including SIEM, NDR, XDR, IAM, and SOAR platforms. Instead of requiring analysts to manually parse SaaS configurations and user behaviors—a notoriously difficult and error-prone task—security tools can now tap into AskOmni's deep SaaS intelligence directly.

“The cyber threat landscape is complex, and for good security coverage, large organizations use upwards of 50+ different specialized security tools,” said Melissa Ruzzi, director of AI at AppOmni. “Integration of security tools is not just beneficial, it's imperative for achieving holistic visibility and coordinated security decisions.”

Built on the MCP standard, AskOmni isn’t just exchanging raw data across systems. It acts as a fully contextualized investigator, sharing not just indicators but actionable insights rooted in business logic—a major step forward from the brittle API integrations most platforms still rely on today. Ruzzi emphasized that “the proper way to get the full benefit of integration is to go beyond ineffective data sharing to get investigative insights by integrating business logic."

Transforming AI Agents into SaaS Experts

By serving as an MCP server, AskOmni effectively turns every connected AI agent into a SaaS security expert overnight. External platforms can now query AskOmni to gain detailed visibility into SaaS identity behaviors, configuration risks, data exposures, and ongoing posture vulnerabilities—all without needing a human analyst to translate cryptic system settings into security risk narratives.

The rollout comes at a crucial moment. Enterprises now operate hundreds of SaaS applications across departments, from collaboration suites to niche business tools, each one expanding the attack surface. But traditional security products often miss the nuances of SaaS misconfigurations or insider misuse.

Rik Turner, senior principal analyst at Omdia, framed it bluntly: “Organizations are now using hundreds or more SaaS applications, but the associated risks are still not well understood, leaving apps under protected. AskOmni, AppOmni’s SaaS companion, leverages analytics, AI, and SaaS security expertise to analyze vast amounts of security data, uncover hidden risks, and give actionable recommendations to make informed decisions about strengthening security posture.”

A Unified Front for the SaaS Threat Landscape

The benefits extend far beyond better reporting. By embedding AskOmni into broader security platforms, enterprises can coordinate faster, smarter responses to SaaS-specific threats. Instead of generic alerts, SecOps teams receive tailored, context-rich insights that drive precise remediation actions across their entire digital estate.

The move also positions AppOmni at the center of the agentic security wave—a growing trend where AI agents actively investigate, recommend, and even orchestrate security measures across sprawling cloud environments.

The AskOmni MCP server is available immediately for AppOmni customers and partners. The company is showcasing the technology this week at RSA Conference 2025 at booth S-2339, where visitors can see first-hand how SaaS security operations may be entering a new era of intelligence-driven automation.
