Introducing the CrowdStrike Shadow AI Visibility Service
Summary
Organizations typically have far more AI tools running than they realize, including unapproved ones that bypass traditional security controls, a problem called shadow AI (unauthorized AI usage that goes undetected). CrowdStrike's new Shadow AI Visibility Service addresses this by using telemetry-based evidence (data collected from system monitoring) to discover both approved and unapproved AI across endpoints, cloud, and SaaS environments, since most security teams lack visibility into their actual AI footprint.
Solution / Mitigation
CrowdStrike's Shadow AI Visibility Service, powered by the CrowdStrike Falcon platform and delivered by CrowdStrike experts, uses telemetry-based evidence to identify sanctioned and unsanctioned AI usage across endpoint, cloud, and SaaS environments.
