Shadow IT is back. This time it's AI coworkers.
Your employees aren't waiting.
AI coworker tools are already inside your organization. Some send data to a vendor cloud with no controls. Others run on employee devices with no audit trail. Either way, IT did not authorize them.
Open source made it worse.
OpenClaw went viral before IT knew it existed. Critical vulnerabilities within weeks of launch. Thousands of instances exposed on the internet, leaking credentials and private data. Capable, yes. Enterprise-ready, no.
