Employees are adopting generative AI faster than security teams can govern it. Unsanctioned AI tools, risky prompts, and uncontrolled uploads are creating new pathways for data exposure and IP loss, often without malicious intent.
Unapproved AI tools and embedded AI features are now top board level concerns
Shadow AI is scarier than shadow IT due to speed, scale, and invisibility
Often users don’t understand what constitutes sensitive data in a prompt
Traditional tools either block productivity or fail to stop risky behavior.
