Gartner urges enterprise controls for shadow AI
Technical Analysis UpdateGartner warns that unauthorized AI tools and public GenAI use at work are increasing security and compliance exposure for enterprises, with 69% of cybersecurity leaders saying they already have evidence or suspect employees are using public GenAI and a forecast that more than 40% of global organizations will suffer incidents by 2030. Gartner advises CIOs to define clear enterprise-wide AI tool policies, conduct regular audits for shadow AI activity, and incorporate GenAI risk evaluation into SaaS assessment processes to reduce IP loss, data exposure, and other operational risk.
