Yelp, Last Pass Case Study
Yelp gives its employees the flexibility to use the applications or tools required to be as productive as possible.With that flexibility, however, came the risks of Shadow IT, which is the use of software without explicit IT department approval. In order to allow their employees to maintain flexibility with application use, the IT department needed to ensure that security remained a priority and login information for applications or tools outside the IT department’s purview was still being kept secure.
