What is Shadow IT?
15 August 2014
Until an event a few weeks ago I was blissfully unaware of the phrase “Shadow IT”. It crept up in a presentation given by a Service Provider who was trying to explain the risks to a set of IT Management client staff regarding their job security. And despite the dark undertones of the phraseology, it’s a valid and interesting concept which is probably still fairly unknown or unused in the nomenclature of day to day IT management, however its prevalence is definitely scary.
