Shadow AI

AI-powered cybersecurity solutions address the shadow AI challenge by providing capabilities that traditional security tools lack. Rather than relying on static blocklists or known signatures, these platforms use behavioral analysis to identify anomalous activity across the digital estate.

• Comprehensive visibility: An AI-powered solution, such as the Darktrace / SECURE AI, brings visibility into AI usage patterns, allowing security teams to see which tools employees are accessing, what data is flowing to external services, and where potential policy violations are occurring.
• Behavioral detection: A robust AI-powered solution analyzes how data moves through the organization rather than just where it goes. When unusual patterns emerge, such as large volumes of sensitive data being uploaded to a new AI endpoint, security teams receive alerts that enable rapid response.
• Context-aware control: With AI, teams can enforce nuanced policies that balance security with productivity rather than blanket bans. For example, permitting general AI usage while restricting the upload of source code or customer data.
