SailPoint Launches 'Shadow AI Remediation' for Real-time Visibility and Governance
SailPoint Unveils Shadow AI Remediation
SailPoint, Inc., an identity security company, has introduced 'SailPoint Shadow AI Remediation,' a new critical component of its real-time AI governance and security framework. This innovative solution helps organizations discover, monitor, and secure the unauthorized use of AI tools, commonly known as 'Shadow AI,' thereby mitigating significant security and compliance risks arising from the rapid growth of AI adoption.
Addressing Shadow AI Risks and Management
The increasing use of AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini by employees, often without IT department approval, poses severe challenges for enterprises, creating 'Shadow AI.' Security leaders struggle to understand and control how employees interact with these platforms, leading to critical blind spots. SailPoint Shadow AI Remediation addresses this by providing real-time visibility into employee usage of these tools, including monitoring file uploads and interaction frequency. This capability is crucial, as a recent report indicated that 80% of organizations have experienced unexpected behaviors from their AI agents, such as accessing or sharing inappropriate data.
