Shadow IT Report

The Shadow IT Report is now available on FortiAnalyzer.

This report provides enhanced visibility and control for cloud based applications.

Detected applications are classified as:

  • Managed: Allowed applications.

  • Unmanaged: Blocked, quarantined, or reset applications.

Information about the applications, including their Category and Compliance Standard, is provided by the Shadow IT database (SIDB).

Application risk is determined by a numerical score provided by the SIDB for each application. The Risk Levels in the report are as follows:

  • Low: Score is 1 to 15.

  • Guarded: Score is 16 to 30.

  • Elevated: Score is 31 to 50.

  • High: Score is 51 to 70.

  • Severe: Score is 71 to 100.

The Overall Risk Level is the average application risk score for all detected managed applications.

The High Risk Sessions are the number of sessions from managed applications with a risk score of High or Severe.
