Shadow IT – A Topic of Debate
A lighthearted, fun, but also serious panel discussion and debate on the issues and implications of Shadow IT
Contact Event Organiser
About this event
Shadow IT, are the instances of IT within an organisation that have been obtained or are managed outside the governance, IT or security management structures of the IT department.
How and why shadow IT can occur is due to many factors, almost all which can be the subject of intense debate. Various stakeholders from around organisations will have differing views on whether shadow IT is good or bad. Most will agree that it is a topic that brings many important security implications, and the “right answer” to the question of shadow IT is not simple to find.
Join our panel of experts who all bring different yet overlapping experience in managing IT and cyber security as they share their views on shadow IT and how they’ve approached this issue.
