Fighting Shadow IT could be counterproductive. => Agencies that institute prohibitive policies will face substantial pushback. (IT controls)

Find the right balance between individual productivity and the needs of the IT department
=> Just highlighting the stuff you cannot do is a bad way
=> create "white lists" of approved applications and popular web destinations
