Understanding Shadow IT

Understanding shadow IT can be a complex process. Essentially shadow IT refers to IT systems that may be used within businesses but do not have clear approval from the organization. Although an organization will generally look after their immediate software and hardware needs, there is always going to be activity that is not accounted for. Workers in a company may have a certain level of competence when it comes to computers but they may lack the depth of knowledge it takes to recognize threats to company technology systems.

Because of this, employees may download certain software on their work computer for their personal use that can have undesired effects for the company as a whole. Examples of these applications include email software, instant messaging, Facebook, Twitter and other many others. By understanding shadow IT services and the solutions that are available to you, you can minimize the risk in your company.

The Threats of Shadow IT

The main threat when it comes to shadow IT is the security of information within a company. The most common applications used by those working in a company are social media related programs such as Facebook and Google. Simple applications like these can actually threaten the overall security system within the organization as they come with very lax security systems themselves. By making a point of understanding shadow IT service providers you can find out how an expert shadow IT company can help you protect the information and your company in the process. Rivell can help put measures into place that will keep both your employees and organization safe and secure.
