What Actually Governs Shadow AI?
Maman Ibrahim
Founder. Diamond Soul
“Shadow AI won’t bow to bans. I’ve seen that film before. It ends with clever people going quiet and risk going dark. The answer is governed freedom: approved lanes, named owners, watched data, logged prompts, and a firm brake on high-risk moves. You keep the lift because you govern the roads, not punish the drivers for wanting to move faster.”
Sumeet Jeswani
Senior Solutions Consultant at Google
“Move from the Department of No to the Department of How. By matching the perceived benefits of shadow agents within a superior ecosystem of sanctioned tools, we pull users into governed systems.”
Dr. Blake Curtis
Senior Leader of Al Risk Management at AWS
“Less ‘AI police’ and more ‘airport security with a trusted lane.’ Give people an easy, approved path for everyday AI use, require a lightweight but disciplined check-in for every tool or agent, and only send higher-risk uses through deeper review. The goal is not to stop AI use, but to keep the safest path the fastest path.”
Diana Kelley
CISO of Noma Security
“Make the safest path the easiest so productivity and control align.” Her prescription specifies what makes a path “safe enough” to be the default: “full visibility, blast radius mapping, identity-bound access, continuous telemetry, and policy guardrails.”
Larry Whiteside Jr.
Co-Founder and President of Confide Group
“If security doesn’t move at business speed, it’s irrelevant.” His prescription: a centralized gateway that masks PII and logs usage, making sanctioned tools faster and better integrated than shadow alternatives.
Matthew Rosenquist
CISO and Cybersecurity Strategist at Cybersecurity Insights
“The desire for AI vastly outstrips the boundaries set by policies. The solution is not more restrictive policies, as they too will be ignored. Cybersecurity must lean into AI adoption and create easy paths that benefit from governance controls. Be an enabler of safe AI adoption rather than an inhibitor.”
Akram Sheriff
Co-Founder and CTO at a stealth-mode startup
“Treat shadow usage as feedback, not just risk.”
Osvaldo Ramirez Hurtado
COO and Co-Founder of Nexus IQ Strategies
“Control works only when the secure path is faster, easier, and more trusted than the unofficial one.”
Chad Lorenc
Professional Service Security Leader at AWS
“A variable controls framework based on data value, not one-size-fits-all restrictions.”
Steve Wilson
Chief Al Officer at Exabeam, founder of the OWASP Gen Al Project
“Treat AI agents as managed digital workers with identities, scoped permissions, and audit trails by default. Put control in platforms and APIs with guardrails, then enforce with telemetry, risk scoring, and selective intervention.”
John Caballero
CTO and CISO of TerraCyber
“Shadow AI is a delivery gap, not a policy failure. Using identity-centric governance with the NIST AI RMF as a foundation, mapping untracked agents and governing them as distinct identities, we can move from reactive bans to proactive enablement. Apply zero trust and least privilege to every agent.”
Dmitry Raidman
CTO and Co-founder of CyBeats
“Governance must shift to identity, access, and continuous visibility of what runs where. That is AI-era zero trust: enable usage, but control it at the speed of AI.”
Tobi Olaniyan
Head of IT Security
“Visibility should go beyond just tracking the existence of agents. It should extend to the type of rights and data these agents have access to, and any associated vulnerabilities.”
Teri Green
Vice President of Technology, Elevate Energy
“Ban lists didn’t fail because people are reckless, they failed because the work demanded speed. Control comes from shifting governance to the point of execution: instrument, monitor, and enforce in real time. Use a risk-tiered model with approved pathways, not blanket restrictions. AI is artificial; you are the intelligence.”
Cynthia Chepkemoi
Data Protection, Privacy and Cybersecurity Practitioner, SBM Bank Kenya
“Publishing a more detailed policy document does not close the governance gap. Organizations with policies already have the gap. What is missing is measurement and operational enforcement.”
