Stands for: Shadow IT
Technology and services used inside an organization without the knowledge or approval of central IT.
A team signs up for a SaaS tool on a credit card because the official process is slow, and now company data lives somewhere security never vetted. Shadow IT is a symptom as much as a risk: people route around IT when sanctioned paths are too painful.
