Getting a grip on shadow IT in the age of self-service technology - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

With the increase in cloud computing and easy-to-use file sharing systems in the workplace, it's become increasingly difficult for IT departments to keep track and maintain a secure environment. When staff needs to access or share data quickly, they no longer need to rely on IT to provide the tools to do so. Why would they go through the red tape of IT procurement, provisioning, testing, and security when they can find a solution themselves in a matter of seconds? Join John Peluso, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy at AvePoint, as he presents how organisations have decided to call a truce and provide self-service provisioning and management. In this webcast, he will discuss: - The dangers of having silos of information that IT and the business are unaware of – disconnected from the centralized servers and storage of the data center or even approved cloud services - How all of this information may be absent from aggregated capacity, secured content, usage, and other reporting at higher levels, which can complicate business decisions. - What an organisation can do to proactively manage any rogue IT by providing self-service to end users
