Tackling Cybersecurity Today: Your Top Challenge and Strategy

Shadow IT used to be a fringe problem, a rogue Dropbox account here, a personal Gmail there. Now, it's everywhere. One customer said it best: 'We don't have a Shadow IT problem. We are Shadow IT.' That stuck.
It's not malice. It's urgency. People move fast. Procurement doesn't. So teams swipe cards, spin up tools, and get on with it. The intentions are good. The risks are massive.
We've seen it firsthand. One fintech company found customer data spread across five unsanctioned collaboration tools. A healthcare team discovered sensitive files in an AI image generator. These weren't outliers; they were the norm. The real threat wasn't just data loss. It was invisibility.
