Shadow AI refers to the unauthorized use of AI tools and copilots at organizations, posing significant risks through unmonitored integrations and poor security measures.
Shadow AI tools can embed themselves in approved business applications, making them challenging to discover compared to traditional shadow IT which can be tracked via IPs and domains.
These AI applications often utilize weak security configurations, escalating the risk of exploitation and data leaks. Employees may inadvertently input sensitive information, compounding the threats.
Despite the absence of a direct link to corporate infrastructure, standalone AI tools used personally still carry substantial risks if sensitive data is entered.
