Calian Cyber Security eBook - Why Embracing Shadow IT is Good for Your Business

For increased productivity and efficiency, your employees are embracing Shadow IT—unsanctioned and unknown IT projects like cloud services.

Of course, many employees will be unaware that their actions are exposing the organization to attacks by cyber criminals.

Modern businesses move faster today and IT teams cannot keep up.

All of which translates to security risks and compliance nightmares.
