Shadow IT refers to the use of technology and IT systems within an organization without the approval or knowledge of the central IT department. 

This can range from employees using their own personal devices for work purposes to departments setting up and using their own software and systems. 

Shadow IT can increase security risks and lead to data breaches and violations of regulatory requirements. It can also cause operational problems and slow down decision-making.
