It provides the guardrails needed to safely adopt generative AI across the business: stopping sensitive data from being shared externally, preventing unsafe automated actions, ensuring consistent governance across tools, gaining full visibility into AI usage, enforcing compliance requirements automatically, and keeping employees from exposing Personally Indentifiable Information (PII) and Intellectual Property (IP) in prompts. With AI Shadow, every use case becomes a yes because AI is finally governed, secure, and scalable.
