How to use shadow IT discovery in Microsoft Cloud App Security to help remote workers stay secure and save bandwidth.

The cloud app discovery tools in Microsoft Cloud App Security are usually seen as a way to get shadow IT under control because they handle SaaS, IaaS and PaaS resources.
Forrester's new report, The Total Economic Impact Of Microsoft Cloud App Security, suggests that the service pays for itself in three months, and shows just how many cloud apps are in use that IT teams know nothing about.
It's important just to know what you have, Joanna Harding, product marketing manager for Microsoft Cloud App Security, told TechRepublic.
