Citizen developers may help enterprises to develop apps more quickly, but what is this new breed of developer going to do to enterprise security?
While shadow IT was always a challenge for enterprise IT teams, it rapidly started to accelerate with the growth of the smartphone, and then cloud computing with the incredible expansion of public cloud infrastructure and software as a service offerings that made it as easy as providing a credit card to access a cloud service.
