Right now, there is probably an AI agent running on a laptop somewhere in your network. It stores API keys and database passwords, can access your internal systems, and works without anyone watching.
Nobody reviewed its access. Nobody owns it.
If an employee had that much reach with that little oversight, you would call it an insider risk. So why do we still call the agent a productivity tool?
Most of the conversation about AI security is about what threat actors are doing with it. But the bigger threat may already be inside your organization.
That’s the focus of our upcoming webinar, AI as an Insider Threat: From Shadow AI to Governed AI, with expert guest Richard De La Torre, Technical Product Marketing Manager at Bitdefender. Save your seat for a practical security playbook on bringing that unseen AI under control.
Where AI is hiding on your endpoints
It isn’t only developers. AI agents, coding assistants, MCP servers, and browser extensions are turning up across the business.
And most of them never cross your network gateway in a way the tools you already run would recognize.
The result is a hard irony. The AI with the most access is often the AI your security team can’t see.

The visibility gap, by the numbers
According to Bitdefender’s 2026 Cybersecurity Assessment report, only 51.8% of organizations report having full visibility into the AI tools their staff use. That leaves nearly half without the full picture.
That blind spot has a cost. IBM found that 20% of breached organizations were compromised through shadow AI.
Which raises the question: what can organizations realistically do about it? That’s exactly what the webinar gets practical about. Register now to see what a lean team can do about the AI it can’t yet see.
From shadow AI to governed AI
New research from Bitdefender Labs looks at what’s really running on endpoints, based on real machines; among the findings: a malicious agent skill caught in the wild.
Blocking AI outright is the obvious response, but it tends to fail. The alternative is governed adoption, and the session shows what that looks like in practice.
What you’ll take away
- Where AI is actually showing up on your endpoints, and why the tools you already run don’t see most of it.
- New research from Bitdefender Labs on real machines, including the malicious agent skill caught in the wild.
- Why an AI agent with credentials and no owner behaves like an insider risk, and what to do about it.
- Why blocking AI outright tends to fail, and what governed adoption looks like instead.
The AI already running on your endpoints won’t wait for a policy. Join expert guest Richard De La Torre, Technical Product Marketing Manager at Bitdefender, and save your seat for AI as an Insider Threat.
