Shadow It
Shadow IT refers to information technology projects that are managed outside of, and without the knowledge of, the IT department. At one time Shadow IT was limited to unapproved Excel macros and boxes of software employees purchased at office supply stores. It has grown exponentially in recent years, with advisory firm CEB estimating that 40% of all IT spending at a company occurs outside the IT department. This rapid growth is partly driven by the quality of consumer applications in the cloud such as file sharing apps, social media, and collaboration tools, but itís also increasingly driven by lines of business deploying enterprise-class SaaS applications. In many ways Shadow IT is helping to make businesses more competitive and employees more productive.

UBA solutions look at patterns of human behavior, and then apply algorithms and statistical analysis to detect meaningful anomalies from those patternsóanomalies that indicate potential threats.[1] Instead of tracking devices or security events, UBA tracks a system’s users.[2] Big data platforms like Apache Hadoop are increasing UBA functionality by allowing them to analyze petabytes worth of data to detect insider threats and advanced persistent threats.
