Shadow AI: The hidden risk expanding across the enterprise

▤ Summary

This article explains how shadow AI is expanding enterprise risk by creating new paths for data leakage, policy failures, and unauthorized access. It shows that employees, developers, and SaaS apps can all introduce AI usage outside existing governance. It argues that traditional security controls do not fully cover AI interactions, especially prompt injection, agentic workflows, and hidden AI features in SaaS tools. It positions CrowdStrike Falcon AI Detection and Response as a way to detect AI-specific threats and unify visibility and control across endpoint, identity, cloud, and AI.
