Ask your network team to allow one SaaS integration and you will get a domain added to a list. From that moment, every application you run can reach everything on that domain, and nobody will notice until it matters.
What it changes for the business
- Approvals get smaller. You can allow the single action an integration needs instead of the vendor's entire surface, so the risk you accept matches the value you wanted.
- Shadow usage on approved domains becomes visible. A team quietly using a different capability of an already-approved vendor is no longer invisible.
- The exception list stops growing. Narrow rules do not need to be revisited every time somebody worries about what else is on that host.
- Rollout does not break the estate. Traffic you have not chosen to govern passes through untouched rather than being inspected, delayed or refused.
How it works, briefly
Squidder governs web traffic and can act on what is actually being requested, not merely where it is going. Where a connection genuinely cannot be read, it is passed through rather than broken, and you are told which of the two you have.
| How this is handled elsewhere | How Squidder does it |
|---|---|
| Allow or block an entire domain | Allow one action on that domain, refuse the rest |
| LLM gateways: web traffic is out of scope | Web, model and agent traffic under one policy |
| Inspect everything, and break what you did not intend | Govern what you chose, pass the rest through untouched |
| Report on what happened last month | Decide at the moment of the request |
Where it fits, and where it does not
Some connections cannot honestly be read, because the client pins the destination it trusts. On those, the available control is the destination itself, and we label it that way rather than implying finer control than exists. Databases, queues and the rest are not web traffic and are not ours to touch.
Where to start
Pick one approved vendor domain on your allow list. Ask what else is reachable on it today, and how you would know. Then narrow it to the action you actually approved.
