The Dangers of Shadow IT in the Modern Enterprise
Shadow IT, the use of unauthorized technology within a company, can pose several dangers to an organization. Here's a breakdown of the key risks:
Security Threats:
Increased Attack Surface: Unapproved apps and devices create more entry points for hackers, making the company more vulnerable to malware, ransomware attacks, and data breaches.
Weak Security Protocols: Shadow IT often bypasses security measures put in place by the IT department. These unvetted tools might have weak encryption or lack proper authentication, increasing security risks.
Data Loss and Leaks: Sensitive data stored on unauthorized platforms or devices is at risk of being compromised or accidentally leaked.
Compliance Issues:
Regulatory Violations: Companies in certain industries have strict regulations regarding data privacy and security. Shadow IT can lead to non-compliance with these regulations, resulting in hefty fines.
Data Governance Challenges: Unauthorized tools make it difficult to track and manage data effectively, hindering data governance efforts.
