Shadow AI poses new risks as employees bypass security controls

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Shadow AI, the use of artificial intelligence tools outside of an organization's security and control perimeter, is emerging as a significant challenge.

This phenomenon is driven by the rapid adoption of AI tools by employees, often without central approval or oversight, creating a gap between leadership mandates and governance foundations. Solutions like the AI Control Plane are being developed to manage and observe these AI agents and their access to company systems. AI
