Vanta has launched a new tool called Vanta Agent for Risk to help organizations manage 'shadow AI' — the unauthorized or unmonitored use of AI tools by employees. About 70% of Vanta's 16,000+ customers report some form of shadow AI, which poses risks as workers input sensitive data into unpredictable AI systems. The tool maps vendors, tools, data, assets, and compliance controls to identify risk relationships and danger zones, leveraging over 4,000 integrations and 1,400 continuously executed security tests.
