Shadow IT Findings From Recent CipherCloud Report

A recent survey conducted by CipherCloud revealed that the use of unsanctioned cloud applications, also known as shadow IT, is widespread. According to the company, 86 percent of the cloud applications used in an enterprise are unsanctioned, and nearly 80 percent of organizations believe they need better governance and visibility tools to address this problem.

"The extent of shadow IT indicates a gap in detection, the first step in the mitigation process," noted Pravin Kothari, founder and CEO of CipherCloud. "With this latest addition to our platform, we are enabling enterprises to gain deeper visibility and control in the cloud."
According to CipherCloud, Cloud Discover Enterprise Edition can help organizations avoid data breaches by identifying risky cloud applications that can become the source of an intrusion, detecting users and groups that utilize risky apps, and blocking high-risk applications.
