Remember when AI at work meant one brave soul experimenting with ChatGPT in a browser tab? Well, those days are clearly gone.
AI is now stitched into the enterprise, living in your slide decks, code repos, meeting notes, and probably three tools your security team doesn’t even know about yet. According to new research, OpenAI shows up in 96% of the organizations studied. The bigger story is integration.
AI tools are plugged into Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, GitHub, and more. As those connections deepen, the blast radius grows. A single over-permissioned token can quietly unlock an entire ecosystem. Add AI agents with persistent access, and you’re managing tools along with “permission debt.”
AI isn’t the experiment anymore. Governance is now the focus.
