The rise of AI-powered applications and cloud-based SaaS tools has transformed workplace efficiency but has also created significant security vulnerabilities. Shadow Identities, which are user accounts outside corporate authentication frameworks, pose a silent threat to enterprise security. Research indicates that 80% of enterprise SaaS logins are invisible to IT teams, leaving organizations exposed to data breaches and compliance violations.
Employees often bypass corporate authentication protocols, leading to unmanaged identities that security teams cannot track. The case of DeepSeek, a generative AI application, highlights the issue, as it only supports Google SSO, leaving companies reliant on Microsoft or Okta without visibility. Organizations must adopt an identity-first approach to security, enforcing strict policies and monitoring to mitigate risks associated with Shadow Identities.
