The growth of microservices and SaaS increases the opportunities for shadow IT. Companies have more business technology assets, systems, and services that aren't protected by their cyber, risk, or privacy teams.    With microservices, these services talk through the service mesh, which is usually not instrumented with visibility or security controls. Additionally, the outsourcing of core business functionality to SaaS services often has a speed and complexity that doesn't keep up with the capabilities of current cyber programs.     In this video, Roland Cloutier will discuss a few things that you can do to ensure you keep up with these “shadow IT” areas as they evolve within your environment.   New Era Technology

In this week’s Security Sparks, we tackle the changing world of Shadow IT and where we are seeing some growth.  We get into some blind spots, opportunities, and a few reminders on good practices and partnerships. An old topic that needs some dusting off on occasion, to ensure we don’t fall victim to our pasts.  #ciso #cybersecurity #riskmanagment #lessonslearned #cyberhygiene #microsegmentatiom #microservicedefense #shadowit
