Shadow IT is becoming a major concern for IT departments, as lines of business/employees acquire or run IT systems, services, solutions, or technologies without their knowledge or approval.
Organizations are worried about the increasing risk for security, compliance, cost and efficiency,
- ●ONLY 39% of organizations today have high confidence in their Shadow IT detection capability
DNS enables complete visibility over clouds and apps. Organizations can leverage network data for discovery to help security teams with detection and monitoring of Shadow IT, including:
- ●unsanctioned / unmanaged cloud apps
- ●machine-to-machine communications
So for companies who today are not focusing on Shadow IT due to cost or workload reasons, the obvious place to start enhancing protection would be with DNS.
You already have a DNS - so why not use it?
