Shadow IT

Shadow IT Management

Unknown Assets Are Undefended Assets.

73% of security incidents happen because of unmanaged assets. CyberCyte finds everything on your network — authorised or not — and brings it under control.

Complete Shadow IT Visibility

Shadow IT is one of the most persistent and underestimated risks in enterprise security. Employees connect personal devices, install unauthorised software, spin up cloud services, and plug in hardware without IT’s knowledge. Each represents a potential entry point for attackers — invisible to your EDR, your vulnerability scanner, and your SIEM. CyberCyte’s Shadow IT Management module gives you complete, continuous visibility into everything operating on your network, whether it is supposed to be there or not.

Attackers Target What You Cannot See

Traditional asset management tools rely on known endpoints and managed devices. They are blind to rogue devices, unauthorised applications, unmanaged cloud instances, and personal hardware. When attackers exploit Shadow IT, they do so precisely because these assets sit outside the monitoring and response perimeter. In 2025, major breaches at M&S, Harrods, and Jaguar demonstrated that attackers actively target the unknown. CyberCyte makes the unknown known.

73% of security incidents occur due to unmanaged or unknown assets.


Shadow IT Detection

Find, Classify, and Control Shadow IT

CyberCyte uses network scanning, NMAP-based discovery, and continuous traffic analysis to identify every device and service — regardless of whether it has an agent installed.

1

Network Discovery

CyberCyte agents continuously map every device, service, and connection. New devices are detected the moment they appear.

2

Device Detection

Identify personal laptops, mobile devices, IoT hardware, printers, and rogue servers operating without IT approval.

3

Software Discovery

Detect unauthorised applications, browser extensions, and software libraries installed on managed endpoints.

4

Cloud Shadow IT

Identify unmanaged cloud services, storage accounts, and SaaS applications in use across your organisation.

5

Risk Classification

Every Shadow IT finding is scored by risk level and linked to a response action from alerting to automated isolation.

6

Inventory Management

Bring all discovered assets into your managed inventory. Continuously validate all new assets are classified and governed.
