Shadow AI agents operate autonomously within enterprise workflows, bypassing traditional IT controls and causing significant security risks including data leaks and unauthorized system access. Enterprises lack visibility and management frameworks for these AI agents, leaving many unregistered and unsupervised while the threat escalates.
