Shadow IT Is Increasing And So Are The Associated Security Risks
CSO Online, Tuesday, June 6,2023
Shadow IT - tech brought into an organization without the security team's knowledge - continues to be a threat. Managing visibility through increased vigilance and employee education can help mitigate its dangers.
Despite years of modernization initiatives, CISOs are still contending with an old-school problem: shadow IT, technology that operates within an enterprise but is not officially sanctioned - or on the radar of - the IT department. Unvetted software, services, and equipment can be nightmare fuel for a security team, potentially introducing a lurking host of vulnerabilities, entry points for bad actors, and malware.
