How To Tackle Shadow IT When AI Is Everywhere
techradar, Wednesday, June 11th, 2025

Clearly, this creates a massive security risk and headaches for both IT and security.
Now, with generative AI tools flooding the workplace, that headache is turning into a full-blown migraine.
The rush to adopt AI productivity tools has opened a Pandora's box of security vulnerabilities that most organizations are completely unprepared for. These tools are expanding existing visibility gaps while simultaneously creating a constant stream of new ones.
