In this episode of The Security Repo Podcast, let's talk about the largest IT threat outside of IT, and maybe out of the line of site of Security teams, Shadow IT.

We are joined by Garrett Gross, a seasoned cybersecurity professional with over twenty years of experience. Garrett currently holds the position of Head of Product Success at Nudge Security. His primary focus is on implementing innovative strategies to address SaaS sprawl and mitigate the risks associated with shadow IT. With a strong background in security operations, incident response, and threat research, Garrett's expertise and dedication to the field are evident. He actively contributes to the cybersecurity community by collaborating with organizations such as OWASP and ISSA, aiming to elevate industry standards and best practices.

We start with a look at how bad the issue of shadow IT really is today and what it is potentially costing companies. From there, we talk about how blocking people from working is a less-than-optimal way to implement security since people will often bypass those restrictions. By the end, we discuss the idea of nudging people, using guardrails, and some clever automation, to do the right thing and improve security for us all.
