2. The invasion of consumer tech

As I discussed in Sanity check: The six consumer technologies that are destroying traditional IT, it is easier than ever for workers to get their hands on technologies to help them do their jobs without ever consulting the IT department. The problem is that many of these technologies are outside-of-policy and can lead to security and compliance risks. The reason that workers turn to these consumer technologies is that they are faster and easier to get than working with IT, which typically rejects or drags its feet on many requests from users. The root of the problem is a disconnect between IT and users, which leads us directly to No. 1 on the list.
