Shadow IT
30 March 2021
Free Webinar
Overview
A silent enemy at the gates of Data Protection
"Shadow IT" refers to the apps in the cloud, used or downloaded by employees of an organisation without the knowledge or consent of their IT Department. These unsanctioned apps are often used for very legitimate purposes, for example to improve productivity.
However, their usage can have serious unintended consequences, in terms of privacy and security compliance and accountability, for example in a GDPR context, and further reputational and financial implications.
Privacy practitioners, and anyone else in the organisation, need to be fully aware of the Shadow IT issue.
The webinar presentation will describe a realistic scenario in which a consolidated, ‘innocent’ habit of the workforce of a company, produces devastating outcomes.
