"Nearly half of enterprises could face serious security or compliance-related incidents as a result of Shadow AI by 2030, prompting calls for more robust governance practices. Analysis from Gartner shows 40% of businesses could fall foul of unauthorized AI usage as employees continue to use tools not monitored or cleared by security teams. The findings from Gartner come in the wake of a survey of cybersecurity leaders which underlined growing concerns about the rise of shadow AI."
"Gartner said the trend will require a concerted effort to educate staff on the use of these tools, clearer guidelines, and more detailed monitoring. "To address these risks, CIOs should define clear enterprise-wide policies for AI tool usage, conduct regular audits for shadow AI activity and incorporate GenAI risk evaluation into their SaaS assessment processes," said Arun Chandrasekaran, distinguished VP analyst at Gartner."
Forty percent of businesses could face security or compliance incidents from unauthorized AI usage by 2030. Sixty-nine percent of cybersecurity leaders report their organizations suspect or have evidence of employees using prohibited AI tools. Shadow AI increases risks of intellectual property loss, data exposure, and other security and compliance failures. Recommended measures include enterprise-wide AI usage policies, regular audits for shadow AI activity, staff education, clearer guidelines, and integrating GenAI risk evaluation into SaaS assessments. Seventy-one percent of UK workers admitted to using shadow AI tools, with 22% using unauthorized tools for risky finance-related tasks. Comprehensive approaches should combine policy, education, and technological oversight.
