Frequently Asked Questions
What is shadow AI?
Shadow AI refers to the use of artificial intelligence tools and systems within an organization that operate outside the visibility or control of IT, data governance, or security teams. This often happens when employees adopt AI tools like chatbots, code generators, or data analysis platforms to boost productivity, without going through formal approval processes.
While these tools can provide quick value, they can also introduce serious risks—such as data leakage, compliance violations, and inaccurate decision-making—especially when sensitive company or customer data is involved.
Just like shadow IT, shadow AI highlights the need for organizations to strike a balance between innovation and oversight, ensuring that AI adoption is secure and aligned with internal policies.
What is prompt-level security?
Prompt-level security refers to the practice of monitoring, controlling, and safeguarding the information users include in prompts when interacting with AI tools, especially LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. In the context of shadow AI, where employees might be using AI tools without formal oversight, prompt-level security becomes critical.
Why? Because users often paste sensitive data—such as internal documents, customer information, or source code—directly into prompts to get better AI responses. Without proper security measures in place, this information can be exposed to unauthorized access, logged by third-party tools, or even inadvertently leaked outside the organization.
Prompt-level security helps organizations prevent data loss, enforce usage policies, and ensure that confidential information stays protected, even when employees are using unapproved or unmanaged AI tools.
