SailPoint Launches Shadow AI Remediation to Address Growing Security Risks

As artificial intelligence (AI) adoption surges, organizations are struggling to keep pace with the security and compliance risks introduced by unauthorized AI use.

The Problem of Shadow AI

The proliferation of AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini has led to a significant increase in “shadow AI” – the use of AI tools outside of approved IT channels.

According to a recent report, 80% of organizations have experienced unintended actions by their AI agents, including accessing or sharing sensitive data.

SailPoint’s Solution

SailPoint Shadow AI Remediation tackles this issue by monitoring document uploads and interaction frequency, providing real-time insights into AI tool usage.

The solution also facilitates easy deployment with minimal user impact, using a simple browser extension that can be rolled out via standard device management tools.

Many vendors are trying to solve the shadow AI problem with isolated browser or endpoint tools, but that misses the bigger picture. This is fundamentally an identity challenge.

A Holistic Approach to Securing AI

The release of Shadow AI Remediation marks an important milestone for SailPoint’s real-time AI governance and security framework.

This framework unifies Agent Identity Security, Machine Identity Security, Data Access Security, and Shadow AI Remediation to provide a holistic approach to securing AI.

By integrating AI tool usage activity into SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud, organizations can enrich their identity graph, enabling more intelligent decisions about access and risk.

Conclusion

SailPoint’s platform-centric approach, which links human and non-human identities with data and security intelligence, is well-positioned to help businesses navigate the complexities of AI security.

With the launch of Shadow AI Remediation, organizations can now gain the visibility and control they need to mitigate the risks associated with unauthorized AI use.
