Shadow AI security

Prevent sensitive data leaks to AI tools across endpoints

The problem

Employees use AI tools without oversight, exposing sensitive data through prompts, uploads, shares, and clipboard actions that bypass traditional security controls.

Uncontrolled AI tool usage

Employees adopt public LLMs and copilots outside IT governance. Sensitive data is shared without visibility or approval, creating unmanaged exposure paths that security teams cannot monitor or control in real time.

Sensitive data exposed in prompts

Users paste intellectual property, credentials, and regulated data into AI tools. Up to 10% of prompts contain sensitive data, increasing the risk of leakage, reuse, and compliance violations .

Limited visibility into endpoint activity

Security teams lack insight into how data moves across endpoints, browsers, and apps. Without visibility into uploads, prompts, and transfers, unauthorized AI usage remains hidden until after exposure.

Inconsistent policy enforcement across endpoints

Hybrid work and mixed operating systems create enforcement gaps. Traditional tools cannot apply consistent policies across Windows, macOS, Linux, and offline devices, increasing data loss risk.

Why Netwrix for shadow AI?

Prevent data loss to AI tools with real-time endpoint controls

Netwrix Endpoint Protector delivers real-time, content-aware data loss prevention across endpoints, applications, and AI tools. It inspects data in motion and at rest and enforces policies based on sensitivity, user identity, and destination risk. With consistent protection across operating systems and offline devices, organizations gain visibility and control over Shadow AI usage.
