SailPoint Launches Browser Plugin to Stop Unauthorized AI Use at Work

Employees are secretly using AI tools at work without IT approval—and your company probably has no idea. It's called "shadow AI," and it's a security nightmare. Your IT team can't see what employees are doing with ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI platforms, which means data could be leaking and compliance rules could be breaking without anyone knowing. SailPoint, a company that specializes in identity and access management, just released a new tool called Shadow AI Remediation (SAIR) that works as a browser plugin to catch and manage these unauthorized AI uses in real-time. Think of it like having a security guard watching every AI interaction—except it's automated and actually works. If your company cares about data security and compliance, this is worth paying attention to.
