Shadow AI is everywhere. Here’s how to find and secure it.
Summary
Employees are increasingly adopting AI tools without IT approval, leading to 'Shadow AI' that poses security risks. Nudge Security has developed methods for security teams to identify these unmanaged AI applications, track their usage, and mitigate potential dangers.
IFF Assessment
FOE
The rise of Shadow AI means that organizations have less visibility and control over the AI tools their employees are using, increasing the attack surface and the potential for data leaks or misuse.
Defender Context
Security teams need to proactively address the proliferation of Shadow AI by implementing discovery and monitoring tools. Organizations should establish clear policies for AI tool usage to prevent unauthorized adoption and mitigate risks associated with unvetted applications.
