challenging, and often thankless. The larger an organization gets, the more siloed its various teams tend to be. Administrator team sizes are relatively small compared to the number of users they manage, so admins need to spend huge swaths of time chasing down users and products they’ve created outside of those approved by IT. What if there was an easier way to discover the true footprint of your organization’s cloud products and make an informed decision about how to monitor everything?</p> <p>In our discussions with admins who manage many users and types of products, we learned they struggled to stay up to date on the footprint of the Atlassian cloud products their users access to do their jobs. These discoveries were often accidental, and tracking everything was time-consuming. Admins want to empower their users to innovate and be productive, without putting the company’s data at risk. Gaining visibility into shadow IT can spark conversation between admins and their managed users so they can work toward the perfect balance of securing company data and keeping up innovative momentum. That’s where automatic product discovery comes in.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="Unmonitored-product-growth-is-scary-for-admins">Unmonitored product growth is scary for admins</h2> <div class="card related-post sidebar"> <div class="card-image"> <img decoding="async" src="https://atlassianblog.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/shadow-it-blog-2-illustration-1-600x480.jpg" alt="Make the most of shadow IT: balancing rules and culture"> </div> <div class="card-inner"> <div class="related-label"> <span>Related Article</span> </div> <div class="card-body"> <h4 class="card-title"><a href="https://www.atlassian.com/blog/technology/shadow-it-balancing-rules-and-culture">Make the most of shadow IT: balancing rules and culture</a></h4> </div> <div class="card-footer"> <span class="author post-author vcard "> By <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/blog/author/lhausmann">Liam Hausmann</a> </span> <span class="post-category "> In <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/blog/technology">Technology Trends</a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <p>First, some context. It’s a fact of IT administration that a typical organization’s users can use their work email accounts to create cloud products, without needing to request them through IT. For users, this ease of creation is great, especially since they can get up and running on cloud much faster. But for admins, especially at medium and large enterprises where the rate of runaway product creation can increase exponentially, this can be scary. Product creation and usage administered outside of an organization’s IT department, also known as shadow IT, can lead to:</p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Unexpected costs:</strong> Admins may see a surprise bill increase for cloud products where users can create their own instances. This can make annual budgeting unpredictable. It can also result in duplicate license costs if the IT team has purchased and provisioned a cloud product for the company, but users created and paid for their own cloud product instances of the same type – often not realizing IT has already set one up for employees to use.</li> <li><strong>Security and compliance concerns</strong>: Admins have no visibility or control over what users do in their own instances, which may include putting sensitive data into products when users are logged in with their work accounts.</li> <li><strong>Operational complexity</strong>: Admins have to spend time chasing down users who created product instances outside of IT. And then, attempt to consolidate to fewer product instances to manage products more easily or cost-effectively, or deactivate those that are no longer active. This is precious time that they could spend on the many other tasks of running a large organization!</li> </ol> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="When-you-don’t-know-what-you-don’t-know">When you don’t know what you don’t know</h2> <div class="card related-post sidebar"> <div class="card-image"> <img decoding="async" src="https://atlassianblog.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/shadow-it-blog-illustration-final-3-600x480.jpg" alt="Modern shadow IT demands visibility, not control"> </div> <div class="card-inner"> <div class="related-label"> <span>Related Article</span> </div> <div class="card-body"> <h4 class="card-title"><a href="https://www.atlassian.com/blog/technology/modern-shadow-it-visibility">Modern shadow IT demands visibility, not control</a></h4> </div> <div class="card-footer"> <span class="author post-author vcard "> By <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/blog/author/jcline">Jenna Cline</a> </span> <span class="post-category "> In <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/blog/technology">Technology Trends</a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <p>According to <a href="https://www.skyhighnetworks.com/cloud-security-university/what-is-shadow-it/">McAfee</a>, 40% of IT spending in an organization happens outside of IT.
