What you’ll learn

Three practical questions this session will address

  1. Visibility

    Where is shadow AI taking hold?

    Map AI activity across users, applications, frontier models, and agents, including use outside approved workflows.

  2. Exposure

    Where can AI expose your data?

    Understand how prompts, uploaded content, connected tools, and autonomous actions can create different exposure paths.

  3. Governance

    What should you observe, review, and control?

    Use shared context to shape policy, investigate concerning activity, and choose proportionate response steps.

Session context from CrowdStrike. Explore CrowdStrike Falcon Guardian

Follow the interaction

Trace one AI interaction from prompt to response

Select each stage to see where context can disappear, where risk can enter, and what a security team may need to observe or control. The scenario is illustrative and does not reproduce the Falcon console.

Illustrative workflow, not a product screenshot

01 / The prompt begins

Employee

Illustrative event
An employee opens an AI assistant that has not been reviewed and pastes part of an internal project brief.
Why it matters
The interaction can sit outside the approved inventory, leaving security without a reliable record of the tool or data involved.
Visibility or response
Associate the activity with the user, device, application, and prompt context so shadow use can be reviewed.
The evidence behind the session

Why the AI interaction layer demands visibility

AI adoption and governance are moving at different speeds. These figures frame the visibility gap the session will examine.

View source: CrowdStrike Falcon AIDR overview

45%

of employees report using AI tools without IT’s knowledge

CrowdStrike cites this figure to illustrate the size of the shadow AI visibility gap.

61%

of organizations cannot enforce AI governance policies

Policy language alone cannot close a gap when teams cannot consistently observe or act on AI activity.
