Update and View Shadow IT Discovery Applications
For supported software information, click here.
Shadow IT refers to IT devices, software, and services that operate within an organization's network without explicit management, control, or approval of the IT department. Shadow IT discovery proactively identifies and categorizes such IT assets within the organization's network, and categorizes them according to their risk level, which is based on security vulnerabilities, compliance risks, and business impact.
From Versa Concerto, you can change the state of shadow IT applications according to your organization's requirements. The states are sanctioned, unsanctioned, or unknown. If an application is sanctioned, that means it has been officially approved by your organization's IT department. You can also view application traffic logs and security information of an application.
