'What companies are facing today is an AI zoo' — NordLayer warns that dozens of unsanctioned chatbots are quietly widening every company's exposure to data leaks
NordLayer's new AI tool exposes what workers are quietly using instead of the expensive chatbots their companies are paying for.
Companies today are grappling with an AI zoo, according to NordLayer. The tech firm warns that dozens of unsanctioned chatbots are quietly increasing every organization's vulnerability to data leaks. AI Scout, NordLayer's new tool, aims to provide organizations with visibility into workplace AI activity and the associated security risks.
By tracking browser and desktop interactions, AI Scout identifies both authorized and unauthorized AI services, enabling businesses to compare actual activity against software approved for workplace use. The tool estimates token consumption across deployed large language models (LLMs) and examines the information employees submit to AI systems, detecting potentially sensitive material before submission.
NordLayer claims its AI Scout safeguards operate before transmission, potentially preventing confidential data from reaching external AI services. With employee use of unapproved AI services - a phenomenon known as shadow AI - on the rise, NordLayer emphasizes the need for closer oversight. The company's AI Scout tool provides a solution to the challenges businesses face in maintaining visibility when employees use AI services beyond formally approved platforms.
