Shadow AI: Detection, Risk & Governance

Shadow AI is unsanctioned use of AI tools by employees—personal ChatGPT, free summarizers, unapproved APIs. It drives data leakage, cost sprawl, and compliance risk. Here we outline how to detect it and bring it under governance.

What is Shadow AI?

Any AI use that is not approved by IT or compliance: personal accounts, consumer apps, or ungoverned API usage. Surveys suggest a large share of employees use AI for work without formal approval.

How we detect it

AIMOaaS™ uses CASB and network logs to identify AI and GenAI usage, so you see who uses what in near real time. We then help you design policies and, optionally, run 24/365 monitoring with Human-in-the-Loop response.
