An unauthorized, unregistered, or unowned AI agent operating within an enterprise network without central security review or approval.
Shadow AI agents often emerge when teams integrate unsanctioned browser extensions, third-party SaaS bots, or rogue developer scripts connected to internal databases.
EnterpriseACP discovery scans detect a shadow agent built by a marketing vendor scraping customer data via an open API key.
Shadow agents represent unmonitored attack vectors, compliance violations, and potential data leakage points.
EnterpriseACP continuously scans networks, code repos, and API gateways to detect and isolate shadow AI agents.
