Danny Jenkins, CEO of ThreatLocker, highlights the rise of shadow IT as remote work increases. A Pew Research Center survey indicates a dramatic shift to remote work, with 35% of U.S. workers now full-time remote. This transition has led to employees setting up their own IT solutions without appropriate guidance, resulting in 41% of employees operating in shadow IT environments. With that number expected to rise to 75% by 2027, the risks associated with conducting sensitive work from vulnerable home networks or public wi-fi are significant, posing challenges for businesses striving to maintain security.
Remote work has increased flexibility for employees but also raised new cybersecurity challenges as employees now work outside the traditional security perimeter.
41% of employees operated in shadow IT environments in 2022, and this is expected to rise to 75% by 2027 as remote work continues to evolve.
