Shadow IT| Managing unknown assets within an organisation

Published on October 16, 2023

‘Shadow IT’ (also known as ‘grey IT’) is the name given to those unknown IT assets used within an organisation for business purposes. Whilst often thought of in terms of rogue devices connected to the corporate network, shadow IT can also apply to cloud technologies or services. For example, if users are storing sensitive, enterprise data in their personal cloud accounts (perhaps to access the data from another location or device), then that’s also shadow IT. Most organisations will have some level of shadow IT, even if they don’t realise.

All About Media and Publishing Data Protection and GDPR!

Published on April 20, 2022

Data Protection Act (2018) and GDPR does not need to be complicated Even Blue Chip companies experience data security issues, and the amount of data, including personal data, being held within most companies appears to grow every year.

Supply Chain Assurance

Published on February 25, 2022

Today, we'll talk about Supply Chains and how well or poorly organisations are doing in terms of supply chain assurance. Join Mike Gillespie and Ellie Hurst for a discussion on Supply Chain Assurance as attacks continue in 2022. Business these days is an interconnected experience; supply chains are no longer linear but are complex and convoluted, more like a business ecosystem. Information is the lifeblood of this model. Allowing another company to access, store or otherwise manage your valuable data, is one of the biggest risks any organisation can take. For instance, outsourcing technical services to a third party (like software), or business processes (like payroll or customer management) are increasingly available and popular, as the benefit to business can be transformational. 💡 Learn more about how we can help your business here: http://advent-im.co.uk/ 🔥 DON'T FORGET to listen to our latest podcast here: http://advent-im.co.uk/media/podcasts/ ❤️ Enjoyed this video?
