How to use shadow IT discovery in Microsoft Cloud App Security to help remote workers stay secure and save bandwidth.
Even more than in an office, the proliferation of cloud apps can turn into a shadow IT security worry - and depending on how access to company data is set up, it might impact home internet 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.
