Summary
The article deals with the governance and security of AI use in companies, in particular the "shadow AI" phenomenon: use of generative AI tools outside IT's control. According to Cisco's 2025 index, 60% of organisations are unaware of the queries their employees submit to GenAI tools. The article describes three risk vectors (public chatbots, AI embedded in SaaS software, autonomous agents) and recommends three approaches to address them: continuous inventory of AI assets, advanced behavioural detection and zero-trust access controls. Darktrace is cited as an example of a behavioural detection platform covering networks, cloud, email, OT and endpoints, without relying on known attack signatures.
