Unprecedented Visibility and Control Over AI Vendor Usage
Glasswing AI automatically discovers every AI service accessed from inside the network and shows exactly who is using each tool. Its dashboard and reports let security teams enforce data-loss-prevention policies, distinguishing sanctioned AI from shadow AI.
Glasswing AI’s proprietary AI-vendor database is ten times larger than the nearest competitor, offering unmatched breadth and depth of coverage. This expansive intelligence allows organizations to keep pace with the explosive growth of generative AI solutions, from industry giants to niche providers.
