Written By Peter Vogel

SCWorld.com reported that “In 2025, significant advancements in agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems will drive new AI-based cyber defensives, driving new solutions to help organizations carry out specific goals, making decisions, and taking mitigation action with minimal human intervention.”  The January 9, 2025 article entitled “Cybersecurity in 2025: Agentic AI to change enterprise security and business operations in year ahead” (https://tinyurl.com/8x2vzrws) included these comments about Shadow AI with Agentic:

Shadow AI will prove to be more common — and more — risky than we thought, says Akiba Saeedi, IBM VP of security product management:

Businesses have more and more generative AI models deployed across their systems each day, sometimes without their knowledge. In 2025, enterprises will truly see the scope of "shadow AI" — that is, unsanctioned AI models used by staff that aren’t properly governed. Shadow AI presents a major risk to data security, and businesses that successfully confront this issue in 2025 will use a mix of clear governance policies, comprehensive workforce training, and diligent detection and response.
