Shadow IT
The tools and applications used at work without the agreement or knowledge of the IT department.
Shadow IT is the apps, cloud services or devices used within an organisation without IT's approval. Often it is a genuine need poorly covered by the official tools, but it creates blind spots: uncontrolled data, no backup, unmonitored flaws. You deal with it by listening to needs as much as by controlling.
