Four in Five AI Tools Run with No IT Oversight, New Research Finds

Research from Reco found that approximately 80% of artificial intelligence (AI) tools operate without information technology (IT) oversight in organizations. The study also documents a rise in vulnerability disclosures related to AI systems. Shadow AI deployments create security and compliance risks that security teams cannot effectively monitor or manage.

Why it matters: Security practitioners need visibility into all AI tools in use, as unmonitored deployments bypass risk assessments, access controls, and incident response capabilities, leaving organizations exposed to data exfiltration, compliance violations, and supply chain compromises.
