Shadow AI is growing quickly as employees adopt unapproved AI tools that can access corporate data through OAuth tokens, browser sessions, and bundled features in approved platforms. A practical AI governance program with discovery, clear policy, fast approvals, monitoring, and just-in-time coaching can reduce risk and make secure behavior easier for employees. #AdaptiveSecurity #MicrosoftCopilot #GoogleGemini #SalesforceEinstein
Keypoints
- Most organizations have employees using multiple unapproved AI tools each day.
- OAuth connections and browser-based tools can expose corporate data outside IT visibility.
- A complete inventory should include OAuth apps, browser extensions, and embedded AI features.
- An effective AI policy needs approved tools, data rules, opt-out checks, and a clear request process.
- Browser-native monitoring and just-in-time coaching help reduce shadow AI and guide safer use.
