Shadow AI agents are multiplying. Here's how to find and secure them.

Shadow AI agents are proliferating across enterprise platforms without IT and security team awareness, creating governance gaps. Organizations need discovery, assessment, and governance processes to manage uncontrolled permissions and autonomous actions before they create security exposures.

Why it matters: Enterprise security teams face growing unauthorized AI deployment that bypasses approval workflows and access controls, requiring immediate visibility and governance capabilities.

Shadow AI agents are multiplying. Here's how to find and secure them.

Shadow artificial intelligence (AI) agents are proliferating within enterprise environments with limited visibility from IT and security teams. Organizations can implement discovery, assessment, and governance strategies to manage uncontrolled permissions and autonomous behaviors before they create security exposures.

Why it matters: Security practitioners must identify and inventory shadow AI agents in their environment to prevent unauthorized data access and reduce the risk of autonomous actions executed outside governance frameworks.
