   Gartner Predicts 40% of Firms to Face Shadow AI Security Incidents by 2030

   Gartner's prediction highlights the growing risk of security and compliance incidents due to unauthorized AI tools. A survey revealed that 69% of cybersecurity leaders suspect or have evidence of employees using public GenAI at work, increasing risks of IP loss and data exposure. Gartner advises defining clear AI usage policies, conducting audits, and evaluating GenAI risks in SaaS assessments. Additionally, legitimate GenAI use could lead to technical debt, delayed upgrades, and rising maintenance costs, potentially creating security risks.
