The RISKS your business can face with shadow IT:

- Employees must perform maintenance by themselves,

- The IT department cannot correct issues and threats they are unaware of,
- Not evolving can slow down productivity, innovation and employee morale.
- Your data can become vulnerable to malware, hackers, viruses, and other forms of threats.
There are mainly two options to prevent this from happening:
- Enforce stricter rules and restrictions on what forms of IT your employees can use; which can hinder productivity.
