ai security

Your company already adopted AI and nobody is governing access

Enterprises are adopting AI tools and integrations without formal governance, creating unmanaged security exposures across multiple vectors. Organizations lack visibility into unreviewed OAuth connections, inherited user permissions in AI agents, and improperly stored credentials that can be exploited. The risks span from standing OAuth grants to agent credentials and copilot permission inheritance.

Why it matters: Security teams need immediate visibility and control over shadow AI deployments and integrations; unvetted AI tool adoption connected to critical systems like Google Workspace represents a direct attack surface for credential theft and lateral movement.

ai security

Your company already adopted AI and nobody is governing access

Antoine Berton, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Elba Security, explains that widespread Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption often introduces unmanaged access points, such as Open Authorization (OAuth) grants and agent credentials, that security teams do not govern. He notes that a single click can link a free AI tool to corporate Google Workspace without review. Berton identifies five common exposure areas where this risk appears.

Why it matters: Security teams overseeing AI-connected Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms are affected because ungoverned OAuth grants and agent credentials can expose corporate data, prompting the need for immediate access-review controls.
