The State of Shadow AI
Most AI policies sanction one or two platforms. What's actually in use across the workforce is a different story: AI apps, browser extensions, and OAuth integrations accumulating faster than any approval process can track, mostly self-adopted, unapproved, and invisible to security and IT teams.
That gap isn't created by rogue employees. It's created by four ordinary behaviors: signing up for an AI tool that looks useful, logging into an approved one with a personal account, installing a browser extension, and clicking "Allow" on an OAuth consent screen.
Attackers have noticed. The same behaviors driving AI adoption are enabling attacks.
Insecure personal accounts get compromised on personal devices and take corporate data with them. Imitation extensions branded as official AI companions ship with permissions to read everything in the browser. Malicious OAuth grants become hidden backdoors in tenants where LLM connections are already normal activity. And compromised AI vendors turn forgotten integrations into breach paths.
