What is shadow IT and shadow AI?

Shadow IT refers to any software, apps, or technology used within an organization without IT approval or oversight. This includes unapproved SaaS tools, personal file-sharing apps, and unauthorized communication platforms—all of which create security, compliance, and financial risks.

Shadow AI is the next evolution of shadow IT, where employees adopt AI-powered tools like ChatGPT without IT governance. These tools can unknowingly expose sensitive company data, introduce compliance violations, and create unseen vulnerabilities.

Without visibility into shadow IT and shadow AI, organizations face growing risks—making proactive management essential.
