What is shadow AI? And why GenAI usage monitoring matters for MSPs and SMDs
Generative AI is no longer a side experiment inside businesses. It is moving into normal work: writing, summarizing, coding, research, customer support, etc. That is why the right response to it is not a generic anti-AI message. It is observability first, then governance, then protection.

Why GenAI brings new security risks for MSPs and SMDs
Generative AI is no longer a future topic that only big enterprises need to worry about. It is already part of daily work. MSP and SMD customers do not need a technical lecture on how GenAI's models are built.
