Seminar Announcement: Visualizing Shadow IT in the SaaS Era

LRM Corporation, headquartered in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, and ITCrowd Co., Ltd., based in Minato Ward, Tokyo, are excited to announce a free online seminar scheduled for October 8, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The focus of this seminar is on strategies for visualizing shadow IT in the rapidly expanding Software as a Service (SaaS) landscape, emphasizing both management and education.

In recent years, the ease of using cloud services for improving workplace efficiency has led many employees to adopt these tools without hesitation. However, among the services deemed 'convenient' and 'quick to use', there lies the potential risk of untracked shadow IT. These unauthorized applications can lead to significant information leaks and abandoned accounts, posing serious security threats to organizations.

This seminar aims to address two critical perspectives: how to effectively visualize and manage the cloud services employees are using and how to educate employees about the hidden risks associated with these services. Attendees will gain practical insights that are necessary in today's SaaS-dominated environment.

Target Audience

This seminar is highly recommended for:

• - Individuals responsible for managing IT environments and security operations within their organizations
• - Those who are concerned about challenges related to employee usage of SaaS and account management
• - Organizations aiming to enhance overall security literacy across their teams

Key Learning Outcomes

Participants will learn:

• - Methods to visualize and manage cloud services that employees may be unconsciously using as shadow IT
• - Key points to recognize and prevent risks such as information leakage and account abandonment associated with shadow IT
• - Practical approaches to conducting employee education alongside management strategies to elevate the overall security literacy of the organization
