Shadow AI is here – whether you like it or not. Just like Shadow IT crept into businesses when employees started using Dropbox, Google Drive, and personal devices before IT teams could blink... Shadow AI is already happening in your company. That ChatGPT tab your marketing team swears they only use for "idea generation"? The AI-powered Excel formulas someone in finance figured out? The chatbot quietly handling support tickets that "nobody officially set up"? Here’s the reality: AI adoption in workplaces is exploding—corporate data input into AI tools has surged 485% in the past year. 73.8% of AI usage in companies is happening through personal accounts, bypassing enterprise security. 27.4% of the data employees enter into AI tools is sensitive—and that number is rising. 70% of workers have had zero training on using AI safely, leaving businesses exposed to security risks. Ignoring Shadow AI won’t stop it. But embracing it with a structured, secure approach will turn it into a competitive advantage. At iT360, we’re helping customers bring AI out of the shadows—integrating it into workflows securely, effectively, and with real ROI. AI & automation should be intentional, not accidental. How’s AI being used (officially or unofficially) in your business? And how are you managing it? Let’s compare notes. #AI #Automation #ShadowAI #CyberSecurity #ITLeadership

Great to see Cyber Smart Week going strong! With a rightful focus on MFA in recent years, it's important to understand its weaknesses and how we can mitigate these with a defence-in-depth approach. In the last few years, there has been an encouraging increase in the use of multifactor authentication (MFA) by New Zealand organisations across the spectrum. MFA is like the spearhead in cyber defence. Alone it can only do so much. However, complemented by other key cybersecurity practices, it is core to maintaining cyber secure organisations. #mfa #cybersecurity #defenceindepth #cybersmartweek
