AI makes headlines, but shadow IT and cyberattacks make sleepless nights
LOUISVILLE, Colo. — July 16, 2024 — JumpCloud Inc. today released the results of its Q3 2024 SME IT Trends Report, “Detours Ahead: How IT Navigates an Evolving World.” The seventh edition of the report provides new insights around the challenges and opportunities facing IT teams at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It covers topics such as:
- The growing threat of shadow IT and AI
- How teams manage complicated device and IT environments
- The relationship between IT and managed service providers (MSPs)
- IT professionals’ biggest fears and wants
JumpCloud commissions this survey twice a year to stay on top of the latest challenges, trends, and experiences of IT professionals. This edition surveyed IT teams from the U.S. and the U.K.
“IT teams are dealing with many obstacles. They face uncertainty about economic conditions and elections. There are growing security threats, complex tech stacks, and device varieties. Despite this and more, IT admins are resilient and resourceful,” said Greg Keller, co-founder and chief technology officer, JumpCloud. “What’s keeping them up at night is what they can’t see — 84% of IT admins worry about shadow IT. To help combat the security holes shadow IT creates, IT needs to deploy tools to help spot rogue apps. This will give IT teams the control and visibility they need to keep organizations safe.”
