What is shadow AI? And why GenAI usage monitoring matters for MSPs and SMDs

Author: Alexander Ivanyuk, Senior Director, Technology Generative AI is no longer a side experiment inside businesses. It is moving into normal work: writing, summarizing, coding, research, customer support, internal search and repeatable workflows. OpenAI says it now serves more than one million business customers, more than seven million ChatGPT workplace seats, and roughly 8x growth in weekly enterprise messages since November 2024.

As compliance evolves, operational resilience becomes the real benchmark

The days when compliance was only a documentation exercise are long gone. Now, it’s a critical priority for a wide variety of organizations. But compliance is more of a result than a goal. The goal is achieving resilience. Cybersecurity and data protection regulations are rapidly evolving far beyond traditional compliance checklists. Global frameworks and regulations such as NIS 2, DORA, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX and NIST 2.0 are placing greater emphasis on operational resilience.

Eliminate manual billing work with free, automated reports for Acronis services

Managed service providers (MSPs) rely on Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud to protect customers, manage operations efficiently and automate routine work.

By AI, With AI, For AI: Building IT services in the AI-first era

MSPs want to grow. Yet the cost of growth keeps eating the margin that extra growth was supposed to deliver. Traditionally, more customers means more endpoints, more tools, more alerts, more billing entities, more compliance frameworks. Headcount scales with the work, but margins don't seem to keep up. That problem has a new shape now. AI is changing how every IT environment is built, run and protected and the speed at which they are done.

Backed up is not the same as recoverable

The backup finished. The dashboard shows a green tick. You close the laptop and go home. But what if that green tick is lying to you? It sounds dramatic. It is not. Across organisations of every size, backups complete successfully every night while quietly storing corrupted data, broken recovery chains, or in the worst cases, malware that hitched a ride before the snapshot was taken. Nobody knows. Nothing alerts. The tick stays green. The problem only surfaces the moment you need the backup most.
