Paubox says 70% of healthcare organizations found AI-built tools handling protected health information without IT or security teams knowing. The tools were built by healthcare staff using AI coding assistants, which can help create scripts, automations and integrations. Paubox says security reviews and business associate agreement checks reach only tools already on IT’s list.
Why it matters
Healthcare IT and security teams may need to account for staff-built tools, since checks limited to an approved IT list can miss tools that handle patient data.
