What They Do In the Shadows (of IT) - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

The road to shadow IT is paved with good intentions — when users create unofficial solutions to roadblocks without the oversight or approval of the IT department, they can introduce unknown risks to your environment. Examples of shadow IT may include a user opting for using a personal file-sharing service when they have difficulty collaborating with a teammate or using an unmanaged device to bypass security controls and directly log into a web-accessible cloud service. These workarounds may address the immediate need of the user…but leave a bigger problem for admins to discover later. This not only causes operational issues but introduces greater risk when faced with situations requiring an immediate response.
