Product Walkthrough: How Reco Discovers Shadow AI in SaaS
Summary: Reco, a SaaS security product, uses AI-based graph technology to inventory applications tied to business email addresses and surface shadow AI tools that share an IP address or domain with approved applications, which network monitoring misses. The article cites one study finding that as many as 15% of employees post company data in AI tools, and notes shadow AI apps often run with excessive permissions, duplicative passwords, and no MFA.
Bottom line: Reco is agentless and read-only, so it can surface shadow AI and rank vendor risk but cannot act on what it finds - the response still falls to your team. With 15% of employees reportedly putting company data into AI tools, the gap between detection and enforcement is where the exposure sits.
