Thank you IBM for educating us on the world of IT,cybersecurity and computing, I’ve never heard of shadow IT before so this will be interesting.

I think this is still not very known term becasuse in almost every organization, there is a central IT dept that looks over the overall IT system of the company.

[@thedevinmccarthy]

Thanks for this talk. I prefer shifting this subject to the term "unmanaged resources" rather than "shadow IT". "Shadow IT" sounds mysterious, suspicious, and maybe unable to be found rather than the simple fact that it's just "unmanaged resources" and that can just be moved into the "managed" category.

[@ap4702]

Yes. When I had to double check since I thought shadow IT was a sort of internal espionage or purposely weakened security vectors via insider knowledge.

[@christopherpetersen342]

Very glad to see the balanced treatment of this subject!

Excellent video by the IBM team and this young woman breaking down both the pros and cons.

[@emc3000]

Thanks so much for making a perfectly understandable video on this topic. I am definitely playing catch up on the IT field, so this is super helpful.

Also known as Skunk Works IT… not very common today in global corporates but probably still knocking about in SME businesses with weak management leadership.

[@animanaut]

thx for highlighting the benefits of Shadow IT as well

[@stefanejegod8644]

Ah, I've been used to call this "Guerilla IT", basicly because... there is usually a good intention of the usage for IT, but it's never done with a ... "grownup" and these solutions are usually made to fit a here-and-now usecase, but never made with the correct amount of security, scalability, adaptability or planned decomissioning. And because they're always made for those here-and-now workflows, they pose a giant risk of those workflows being basicly shut down if any of the main workers stop working at your company.
I usually tell people if they have ANY form of doubt whether their new tool consist of ANY type of IT equipment, you 100% SHOULD include a member of your IT organization.
And in regards to the 8-out-of-10 statistics likely is because the last 2 companies simply aren't aware of their Shadow IT solutions.
