Most security teams can tell you which apps IT provisioned. They have no idea what their employees are actually running.

That gap has always existed, but AI made it acute. The average employee now has several AI tools open on any given day, from coding assistants to writing tools, and most of most of them connected to corporate data via OAuth or browser session. Legacy DLP and CASB were built for a world where sensitive data moved through proxies and email. They weren't built for a browser tab. Recent breaches have traced back to employees connecting unsanctioned AI tools to corporate Google Workspace via OAuth. That attack surface is now universal.

Today, we're launching Adaptive AI Governance: real-time visibility into every AI tool and shadow app running across your organization.

What's in AI Governance

Adaptive AI Governance gives security teams a complete picture of every AI tool and SaaS app running across their organization: who's using what, when, and what data it has access to. It works through a lightweight browser extension, so there's no traffic proxying, no network infrastructure to deploy, and no disruption to how employees work.

Security teams get a live, continuously updated map of AI and shadow app activity across every user. From there, they can identify unsanctioned tools, flag risky integrations, and take action, all without leaving the Adaptive platform.

Why It Matters

AI adoption has outpaced IT oversight at virtually every company. Security teams aren't failing — the tooling they were given wasn't designed for this problem. Browser-native AI tools don't route through proxies. OAuth connections to sanctioned apps don't look like threats. Employees aren't being reckless; they're being productive, with tools that IT never saw coming.

The result is a risk surface that nobody has mapped. AI Governance closes that gap. Security teams get the visibility they need to understand what's actually running, before they're trying to explain a breach they never saw.

How It Fits Into Your Existing Workflow

AI Governance is built into the Adaptive platform, not bolted on. That means shadow IT activity feeds directly into each employee's existing risk score — alongside their phishing sim performance, training completion, and email security signals.

If someone is clicking phishing links, skipping training modules, and running unsanctioned AI tools with access to corporate data, their risk score reflects all of it. No separate dashboard, no manual correlation, no second vendor. The human risk profile gets more complete automatically.

For teams already using Adaptive for security awareness training, phishing simulations, or email security, AI Governance is an expansion of what you're already doing — not a new product to evaluate and deploy.
