The democratization of IT has allowed employees to install applications independently, leading to challenges in security management. The speed at which these apps are adopted outpaces the ability of security teams to evaluate and mitigate risks. Shadow IT and Shadow AI proliferate without oversight, increasing the attack surface for organizations, as unapproved applications can expose sensitive data. Organizations must improve their visibility into the application landscape to identify risks and manage unauthorized access effectively. Tools like Wing can aid in discovering and evaluating these applications robustly.
Everyone's an IT decision-maker now. Employees in organizations can install plugins with one click, bypassing IT teams, impacting security posture significantly.
IT security was once about controlling what passed the firewall. Now, anyone can find an app quickly, leading to a decentralized security nightmare.
Full visibility into applications, including shadow IT and shadow AI, is crucial. Discovery tools like Wing can identify apps, assess risks, and allow intervention.
AI tools are being used extensively for various applications, from copy generation to data analysis. Many have not undergone proper review or approval.
