Security for AI: How Shadow AI, Platform Risks, and Data Leakage Leave Your Organization Exposed
Security Boulevard, Monday, December 15th, 2025
Your employees are using AI whether you've sanctioned it or not. And even if you've carefully vetted and approved an enterprise-grade AI platform, you're still at risk of attacks and data leakage.
- Security teams face three key risks as AI usage becomes widespread at work: Shadow AI, the challenge of safely sanctioning tools, and the potential exposure of sensitive information.
- Discovery is the first step in any AI security program. You can't secure what you can't see.
- With Tenable AI Aware and Tenable AI Exposure you can see how users interact with AI platforms and agents, understand the risks they introduce, and learn how to reduce exposure.
Security leaders are grappling with three types of risks from sanctioned and unsanctioned AI tools. First, there's shadow AI, all those AI tools that employees use without the approval or knowledge of IT. Then there are the risks that come with sanctioned platforms and agents. If those weren't enough, you still have to prevent the exposure of sensitive information.
