A new report highlights the growing risk of "shadow AI agents" created by employees without IT or security approval. These agents, built in tools like Salesforce Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Cursor, Zapier, and Retool, hold persistent permissions and can autonomously connect to corporate data and take action. The article notes that 48% of cybersecurity professionals rank agentic AI as the most dangerous attack vector of 2026 (Dark Reading), 80% of organizations say they've already encountered agentic AI risks (SailPoint), and only 21% of IT leaders say they have a mature agentic AI governance program in place (Deloitte). To address this, Nudge Security offers discovery methods, including API-based discovery that connects to platforms like Salesforce Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Google Gemini, ServiceNow, n8n, Tines, ChatGPT, Abacus.AI, and Workato, to provide an immediate inventory of AI agents and close visibility gaps.
