Employee AI Tool Monitoring

What happened

Witness AI introduced a platform that detects and blocks employee utilisation of unapproved artificial intelligence tools. This capability directly addresses the operational challenge of 'shadow AI' and 'misaligned agents' by monitoring and enforcing compliance with organisational AI tool policies. The system provides a mechanism to identify and prevent the use of unsanctioned AI applications within an enterprise environment.

Why it matters

The introduction of dedicated AI tool monitoring tightens the dependency on specific vendor solutions for maintaining compliance with internal AI usage policies. This shifts the burden of identifying and mitigating 'shadow AI' risks from manual oversight to automated systems, increasing the operational exposure for IT security and compliance teams if the monitoring system fails or is bypassed. It also highlights a prior visibility gap regarding unsanctioned AI tool deployment.
