Quick Answer
Organizations face increased security risks from Shadow AI, with 71% of employees using unapproved AI tools.
Quick Take
Effective governance requires automatic data classification, policy-as-code tools, and collaboration across security and engineering teams to manage AI integrations in cloud environments.
Key Points
