In this years’ speaker session, we are back and are once again tackling one of the biggest issues facing IT teams globally – how do you prevent and control Shadow IT? By 2027, 75% of employees will acquire, modify or create technology outside IT’s visibility – up from 41% in 2022 according to a recent Gartner report. Join us as we discuss the challenge of finding ‘Shadow SaaS’, bringing it into software policy and some of the techniques and ‘guardrails’ you can deploy to limit the risk and scope for undetectable, unmanageable SaaS applications. In this session you will learn:

• How to develop and enforce effective SaaS policies and processes
• How to select the right SaaS discovery methods and address associated concerns
• How to interpret SaaS usage data to drive meaningful insights
• How to future-proof your SaaS management strategies
