A Jamf survey shows more than 20% of organizations running macOS networks have lost money or been breached due to AI tool use, and about 60% expect future incidents. Shadow AI, agentic AI, vendor sprawl and usage-based billing are creating governance blind spots. Jamf urges early governance measures: regular audits, strict data-access policies and use of built-in tools.

• Over 20% of orgs running macOS networks have lost money or been breached due to AI tool use, and ~60% expect an incident soon
• Shadow AI (unapproved employee tools) is the top governance blind spot, compounded by agentic AI permission risks, vendor sprawl, and surprise usage-based billing
• Despite these risks, governance ranks only third in priority behind automating IT tasks and boosting productivity, with security improvements fifth
• Jamf recommends regular audits, strict data-access policies, early governance integration, and using built-in tools to manage risk
