Today's rapidly evolving digital landscape challenges enterprises to manage diverse technology assets. The rise of shadow IT, where employees use unauthorized technology resources, poses a significant security risk to organizations. According to a study by Gartner, 60% of organizations suffered a major service failure due to shadow IT in 2022, emphasizing the critical nature of addressing shadow IT vulnerabilities.

However, with the proper enterprise technology management (ETM) software, such as Oomnitza's solution, it's possible to identify and mitigate these security vulnerabilities.
