The hidden dangers of Shadow AI at work

Overview

AI is quietly reshaping how employees work — and putting sensitive company data at risk in the process. In this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw speaks with cybersecurity expert Etay Maor of Cato Networks to uncover the growing threat of Shadow AI — unauthorized AI tools employees use without IT approval or oversight.

Maor explains why AI has become the new weakest link in cybersecurity, how employees unintentionally leak confidential information into public AI platforms, and how attackers are exploiting generative AI to accelerate cybercrime. The discussion also explores prompt injection attacks, the rise of zero-knowledge threat actors, and why AI agents with excessive permissions could unlock the next wave of enterprise risk.

Listen to the audio above to learn what Shadow AI means for your organization — and what business and security leaders can do to regain control.
