AI usage is spreading faster than security teams can track it—and it can potentially touch everything across your SaaS applications. Within 24 hours of DeepSeek's launch, many companies discovered employees were already using it, despite strict policies against it. AI promises to boost productivity, but it introduces serious risks such as:
• Compliance violations: sensitive data shared with unapproved AI tools
• Data exposure: AI tools with excessive permissions accessing customer PII
• SaaS-to-SaaS risks: AI integrations creating dangerous connections low-trust and high-value tools
• Shadow AI sprawl: employees adopting unauthorized AI tools that bypass security controls
• Regulatory blind spots: unmonitored AI usage violating GDPR, GLBA, and banking regulations
The challenge for security leaders today is to support their organization's adoption of AI through proper governance while maintaining the strict data protection standards that regulators demand.
