Shadow AI Detection & Monitoring for Enterprises
Stop playing AI tool whack-a-mole. AI is everywhere, and teams are exhausted trying to track what employees use and upload. Proactive monitoring helps you understand AI usage before something goes wrong.
The Shadow AI Challenge
From new GenAI tools to AI features embedded in your existing SaaS, the Shadow AI challenge has exploded. Relying on URL blocklists lacks critical context. You need to see the full context: Is it a personal or corporate account? And what specific data is being shared with these tools?

Our powerful, inline Small Language Models (SLMs) sit on the endpoint to detect and redact sensitive data before it can be submitted.
FAQs
Quick answers about Harmonic Security
Yes, Harmonic Security can detect usage of OpenClaw (as well as other workstation agents) via our endpoint agent.
AI is embedded in approved productivity tools like Google Translate, Microsoft Copilot, and Salesforce. Blocking AI would block core business functions. Additionally, employees will use personal devices and accounts to access AI when corporate access is restricted, creating greater shadow AI risk.
Some SASE vendors offer limited AI controls for a small number of high profile domains like ChatGPT or Copilot. However, these controls require per domain integrations and do not cover the full spectrum of AI tools, embedded AI features, or agentic workflows.
Harmonic does not rely on a fixed list or single category of AI tools. It finds AI wherever it appears and evaluates the actual data being shared, delivering controls that Netskope and Zscaler cannot match.
Harmonic uses purpose built small language models that understand user intent and sensitive data in milliseconds. This low latency analysis lets you enforce inline controls without slowing work down, rather than staying stuck in passive monitor mode.
Harmonic can be installed with a range of MDM tools, such as Kandji, Intune, or Jamf. Read more here https://docs.harmonicsecurity.app/browser-extension
