A recent analysis by Vanta, a trust management platform, has identified a trend in the workplace. Employees in various departments, including sales, marketing, and legal, are creating their own AI-powered tools. These tools can range from custom chatbots to automations that pull data from multiple systems.

This shift has created a security gap, as these tools are not being monitored by IT or security teams. The analysis found that employees outside traditional engineering roles are building and shipping their own tools at a rapid pace. Further details on this trend and its implications are available from the source, KVIA ABC-7.
