New Research: The AI Efficiency Paradox

See how AI adoption is introducing hidden cost, shadow AI, and security risk—and what organizations must do to regain control.

Security leaders report seeing it firsthand. AI risk is rising. Visibility isn’t keeping up.

AI is already operating across your enterprise environment—often faster than security controls can keep up with. From AI assistants to embedded features and third-party integrations, these systems are interacting with sensitive data, identities, and core infrastructure in ways that are often not visible or governed.

Shadow AI and unauthorized AI usage are expanding the enterprise attack surface, introducing new AI security risks that traditional monitoring tools were not designed to detect.

Inside the Data: AI Risk, Shadow AI, and Visibility Gaps

Richmond Advisory, an independent research firm focused on enterprise security and risk, surveyed security executives in North America to understand what’s actually happening inside their environments. This eBook is a sneak peek into some of the report insights – breaking down what they’re seeing: rising AI risk, expanding shadow AI, and visibility gaps that traditional controls weren’t built to handle—and what it takes to get ahead of it. Full research report available Q2 2026.
