Gartner®: CISOs Must Bring Shadow AI Into the Light

As more businesses adopt AI into their IT estates, CIOs and CISOs become increasingly aware of the dangers of shadow AI. Some say the reason 15% of all employees admit to using shadow AI (as per the Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report) is because employees need access to AI tools that their IT does not provide. Does this mean CISOs and CIOs just need to open the AI floodgates and hope for the best or should organizations create tough but fair AI usage policies to stem the tide of shadow AI?

Blue Mantis is the trusted partner for delivering security-focused IT solutions to CISOs and other IT business decision makers. We’re offering executives a complimentary download of the Gartner report, CISOs Must Bring Shadow AI Into the Light, to provide CISOs with the foundational knowledge needed to:
