Bringing Shadow AI Into the Light
Shadow AI Labs helps small and medium businesses discover, assess, and govern their AI usage before it becomes a costly security breach or compliance failure.
Founder
Peter Kwidzinski
AMD Fellow, Platform Security Architecture
After 20+ years architecting security at the hardware level, I kept seeing the same pattern: organizations rushing to adopt AI while leaving massive security gaps.
Shadow AI—employees using unauthorized AI tools with company data—has become an epidemic. Most SMBs have no idea what AI tools are being used, what data is being shared, or what risks they're exposed to.
I founded Shadow AI Labs to bring enterprise-grade AI governance practices to businesses that can't afford a full security team but can't afford a breach either.
