Use Case

Shadow AI Control: See All AI Usage

Your employees are using AI tools you do not know about. SUPERWISE discovers and governs all AI applications across your organization.

User Story

"I'm the IT Director at a financial services company. Our security team discovered employees using ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools we didn't approve. We had no visibility into what data was being shared or who was using what. We deployed SUPERWISE, and within days we discovered 47 unauthorized AI tools in use. Now we have complete visibility, automatic PII protection, and an approved AI catalog that employees actually want to use."
