Shadow IT in higher education: survey and case study for cybersecurity

“…This five-day UMBC case study-the fourth in a series organized by Sherman [11,35,36]-illustrates how easily shadow IT can grow and expand throughout an organization and how it can create vulnerabilities. Institutions of higher learning, with independent sources of funding available through grants and a mindset of autonomy, are especially vulnerable to the dangers of shadow IT.…”
