Shadow IT—resources deployed outside approved governance—creates unmanaged security risk and unapproved spend. A custom autonomous workflow addresses this by deploying discovery agents that continuously ingest CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, and billing data. These agents use anomaly detection to identify resources lacking proper tags, deployed from non-standard accounts, or exhibiting irregular usage patterns. The result is a real-time, actionable inventory of unauthorized assets, giving FinOps and security teams the visibility needed to control cost and risk before an audit or breach occurs.
