Episode 1: Shadow AI: What You Don't Know Hurts

Every organization has AI running that nobody officially approved, and it lives in three distinct layers: (1) the human-AI interface (employees using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and similar chatbots); (2) the AI applications layer (AI capabilities embedded inside purchased or in-house systems, such as an HR tool screening resumes, or a finance system scoring loan applications); and (3) the agentic AI layer (autonomous agents run by departments, the organization, or individual employees).

Episode 1 of the “AI: Trust, But Verify” four-part webinar series covers how to find all three layers, why most existing GRC and security tools only ever see one of them, and what a usable inventory looks like once you have one.
