Shadow IT

Shadow IT is the use of web apps, cloud-services, software, and other IT resources without the knowledge of an organization’s IT or security teams.

There may be hundreds or thousands of these resources and services used throughout an enterprise that have been provisioned by lines of business, individuals, or third parties without being vetted or deployed by IT or security teams. The prevalence of this self-service IT introduces new security gaps that could put the organization as well as customer data and systems at-risk.
