Employees are moving fast with AI, often faster than the organizations responsible for governing it. Recent reporting shows that a significant share of AI activity on personal or free accounts is already work-related, meaning employees may be using unapproved tools to handle sensitive tasks without IT, security, or compliance teams having any visibility.
The issue is no longer whether employees will use AI. They already are. Shadow AI creates new risk across endpoints, browsers, applications, and unmanaged workflows, and the organizations best positioned to manage it are the ones investing now in the skills, policies, and controls needed to guide that usage safely. Explore the AI and cybersecurity training that can help you get there.
Shadow AI is spreading across organizations the same way Shadow IT did, but the stakes are higher. The risk isn't just the unauthorized tool. It's the sensitive data employees may enter into AI systems outside approved governance. This blog breaks down where Shadow AI shows up, what endpoint teams should monitor, and how to prove your controls are working.
