#ShadowAI

Shadow AI is a symptom of a bigger issue: SaaS blind spots. 64% of employees admit using unauthorized AI tools at work. See why continuous visibility matters: #ShadowAI #WatchGuard

#ShadowAI used to be confined to a few simple scenarios, such as AI chatbots and AI browser extensions. Today, it spans a broad spectrum of complex vectors, making it harder to detect and control. In the latest installment of our #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth blog series, learn how employee security training, AI usage governance, and #ExposureManagement can help you tackle shadow AI successfully.

Employees' shadow #AI use is poorly monitored, survey finds @TechTargetNews @Bitdefender #shadowAI #genAI #AgenticAI #AIrisks #business #leadership #management #governance #CIO #CTO #CDO #CEO #CISO #digital #innovation #disruption #digitaltransformation #shadowIT #tech #data #cybersecurity #datasecurity

Unapproved AI tools are a major vector for quiet data leakage. Andrius Buinovskis of Nord Layer warns that unmonitored shadow AI creates unseen exposure for sensitive documents, API tokens, and client data. #Sponsored #ShadowAI #DataLeakage #AISecurity #SecretsManagement

#ShadowAI is already here 🔍 Employees can adopt AI and SaaS tools in seconds, often exposing business data without IT oversight. The challenge is identifying and managing these risks before they become security incidents. Explore the full article here:

You can't write an AI policy for tools you can't see. Find every AI app and chat in use first, then decide what is allowed, what is limited and what is blocked. #ShadowAI

Shadow #AI risks deepen as 31% of users get no employer training @HelpNetSecurity #shadowAI #genAI #AIrisks #business #leadership #management #governance #CIO #CTO #CDO #CEO #CISO #digital #innovation #disruption #digitaltransformation #shadowIT #tech #IT #data #cybersecurity #datasecurity

A contractor's AI agent stayed on a Pentagon network for 2 months (WIRED). A hospital employee exposed 3,182 patient records via public AI (Johns Hopkins). When an employee leaves, does their AI agent leave too? #ShadowAI #ZeroTrust

One document. One AI tool. Permission shouldn’t be a treasure hunt. My Shadow AI article sets out the questions a visible usage guide should answer, with sensitive data kept in approved environments. #ShadowAI #AIGovernance

AI still hallucinates and cites rouge sources with Shadow AI in place. In simple terms, Shadow AI governs the input. VarsaAI proves the output. If you're deploying Shadow AI, you'll need the verification layer to govern AI output. We're here for that. #AIGovernance #ShadowAI

Shadow AI is what happens when employees use unapproved AI tools to work faster, often without the company knowing how data is used or exposed. It may look like a personal shortcut, but the risk does not stay personal. Microblog by @antgrasso about #AIGovernance #ShadowAI An employee pastes a customer email into a public AI tool to draft a faster reply. The task is completed in minutes, yet sensitive information may now sit outside company safeguards. The same pattern can spread quietly. Teams begin depending on tools that security cannot assess and the organization cannot support. A useful shortcut has started shaping the way work gets done. Simply telling people to stop is unlikely to solve the problem. Organizations need approved alternatives that are easy to use, along with clear guidance on which information can enter an AI system. Employees should also have a simple way to ask questions before choosing a tool on their own. Shadow AI usually points to a gap between how people need to work and what the company currently provides. You cannot govern AI use that employees feel they must hide.

Your employees are using AI at work. Most of them are not using company accounts. That is company data going into personal accounts with no retention control, no audit trail and no way to revoke access when someone leaves. #ShadowAI #AIGovernance #Cybersecurity #Plego

#ShadowIT took a decade to land on the board agenda. #ShadowAI arrived years ago — 78% of employees brought their own tools (per Msft). Most never asked. Does your board know what's already inside the perimeter?

A policy banning AI tools depends on people following it. A NI workspace that only opens the approved ones doesn't. Same rule. Different enforcement point. #ShadowAI #DataLossPrevention

Shadow AI in nursing isn't always about people breaking the rules. Sometimes, it's about nurses trying to keep up with the work. When documentation takes hours and approved tools fall short, unapproved AI can start to look like a practical solution. #ShadowAI #Nursing
