Bring Your Shadow IT to Light with Duo and Umbrella
In this webinar you will learn:
- Why your defense strategy should start with DNS and access control
- The conditions that lead to shadow IT, and how to prevent them
- How to establish user and device trust without adding friction to user access
- How to improve speed-to-security across all your cloud applications through DNS security and access controls
The road to shadow IT is paved with best intentions — when users create unofficial solutions to roadblocks without the oversight or approval of the IT department, they can introduce unknown risks to your environment. Examples of shadow IT may include a user opting for using a personal file-sharing service when they have difficulty collaborating with a teammate, or using an unmanaged device to bypass security controls and directly log into a web-accessible cloud service. These workarounds may address the immediate need of the user, but leave a bigger problem for admins to discover later.
Solving shadow IT challenges starts with a focus on usability, preventing risky workarounds by removing the obstacles that invite them. Duo Security and Umbrella provide a strong foundation for frictionless security workflow, granting users more freedom in the networks and devices they work from without compromising on the security standards you must maintain. Umbrella protects against outbound threats such as malware, ransomware, and other malicious domains by analyzing and blocking unsafe destinations. Duo adds visibility into the security health of devices along with strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify user identities and stop attackers at the point of access with granular policy controls.
Join Chris Frost from Umbrella and Josh Green from Duo for a practical discussion on the key role DNS and access control play in reducing the risk of shadow IT in your environment.
