Cloudflare Introduces Automated Scoring For Shadow AI Risk Assessment
InfoQ, Saturday, September 13th, 2025
During AI Week 2025, Cloudflare announced Application Confidence Scores, an automated assessment system that is designed to help organizations evaluate the safety and security of third-party AI applications at scale.
The new scoring system should address the growing challenges of "Shadow IT" and "Shadow AI," where employees use unapproved generative AI tools that potentially expose sensitive corporate data to security risks or retain user data for extended periods with lax security practices.
