Sažetak
Shadow IT is a term describing users or whole lines of business, who go outside of their organization’s IT group to meet their IT needs. A disconnect often exists between what IT users feel they need and what the IT services group is prepared to deliver. Shadow IT’s destination is often the cloud, where a company credit card can access all kinds of IT as a service, including cloud-based file-sync-and-share, laptop data protection, CRM, project management, or back-office kinds of software. Shadow IT may seem like an easy solution for an organization, because users and lines of business meet their needs and IT has one less problem, but in reality, both stakeholders can end up with less than they wanted and in the process, they put the organization’s important data assets at risk by compromising data security. The truth is that the consumerization of IT will likely come back to haunt IT. Instead of divesting itself of responsibility, IT organizations should get in front of shadow IT and prevent its spread.
