Shadow AI Discovery
Shadow AI Discovery
Generative AI is being used across your organization—often without your knowledge. From browser-based chatbots to embedded LLMs in code editors and desktop apps, Shadow AI is growing fast and operating outside your security policies.
Acuvity’s Shadow AI Discovery gives you complete visibility into where and how Gen AI is being used. We detect thousands of services, flag high-risk tools, and provide real-time insights into data access and usage patterns. Whether it’s freemium AI apps, unauthorized plugins, or personal accounts accessing sensitive data, Acuvity uncovers it all—so you can take control, reduce risk, and empower secure innovation.
Key Benefits
Comprehensive Shadow AI Discovery
Shadow AI is everywhere—and Acuvity makes it visible. We automatically detect Gen AI usage across services, plugins, desktop apps, agents, and even personal accounts. With intelligence on over 10,000 Gen AI services and weekly updates, you stay ahead of emerging threats.
Risk Categorization and Scoring
Not all AI tools are safe. Acuvity scores each service based on real-world risk factors like data handling, service tiers, and integration methods. We flag high-risk tools—like unvetted plugins or services that interact with sensitive enterprise systems—so you can take action fast.
Data Exfiltration Prevention
The biggest Shadow AI risk is unseen data loss. Acuvity monitors for behaviors that could lead to data exfiltration, unauthorized model training, or third-party data sharing. You get the control needed to stop leaks before they happen and protect critical enterprise data.
