Organizations of all sizes have a problem that most of them are not addressing adequately: their employees store corporate data on various file-sharing and content access platforms and most of these people still have access to this data after they are no longer employees.

Osterman Research conducted a survey to quantify the extent of the rogue applications problem. In order to qualify for the survey, respondents had to use a computer for work for more than 50% of a typical workday in their current job and in a previous job. A total of 379 online surveys were completed during June 2014. The results are shocking.
