Public cloud use has allowed business units to quickly provision resources and efficiently scale infrastructure to meet market needs, without the approval of corporate IT. Growth of these non-IT approved resources, known as shadow IT, can decrease security and rapidly increase cloud spend across hybrid multicloud estates.
