shadow it risks
About this tag
Shadow IT risks arise when employees adopt unauthorized cloud services, AI tools, or Microsoft 365 add-ins without IT oversight, expanding the attack surface and exposing sensitive data. Discussions on WindowsForum highlight how unmanaged identity protection in Entra ID, unsanctioned generative AI usage, and third-party add-ins in higher education can bypass security controls. The Zscaler ThreatLabz 2025 report underscores data loss risks from shadow IT in an AI-driven enterprise. Mitigating shadow IT risks requires robust identity governance, add-in management policies, and continuous monitoring to prevent data breaches and compliance violations.
