Shadow AI, prompt injection, data leaks… The main cyber risks of AI in the enterprise — Op-ed
In this op-ed published in the Journal du Net, Nicolas Prud’homme, ekino’s CISO, looks at the cyber risks that come with the growing adoption of artificial intelligence in business. Debate often focuses on the models themselves, yet the real issue lies more in how they are used, integrated and governed within organisations.
Artificial intelligence is steadily making its way into professional tools and practices. Yet as adoption grows, new blind spots appear.
The most important of them often remains invisible: shadow AI, meaning the use of AI tools outside the frameworks defined by the company.
But the risks do not stop there. Internally deployed models, business assistants and agentic systems all introduce new exposure surfaces. Access control, data protection and usage monitoring then become central concerns.
This op-ed is a reminder of something often underestimated: the challenges raised by AI are not only technological. They also test an organisation’s ability to govern systems that are increasingly autonomous and connected to its data and business processes.
