Netskope has introduced the AI Command Center, a new tool designed to help businesses manage and secure their rapidly evolving AI applications and services. This platform, part of Netskope’s One secure access service edge (SASE) suite, allows organizations to discover, assess, and respond to the risks associated with their AI technologies effectively.
With AI Command Center, enterprises can gain visibility into both approved and unapproved AI services in use, enabling security teams to pinpoint where AI technologies are deployed, evaluate potential risks, and automate responses. The platform correlates AI activities with user behavior, data access, and existing security protocols, offering a comprehensive perspective on how AI is integrated into the business.
Sanjay Beri, co-founder and CEO of Netskope, emphasized that the rapid adoption of AI exceeds the capacity of traditional security measures, stating that unapproved tools often pose significant risks. The aim of AI Command Center is to shift from reactive security measures to proactive risk management.
The visibility that AI Command Center provides leverages Netskope’s NewEdge, a global network infrastructure that routes customer traffic through more than 120 data centers worldwide, enabling in-depth inspection of AI-related activities. When organizations utilize Netskope, their web, SaaS, and AI traffic is routed through the platform, allowing for stringent security and governance oversight.
Jennifer Glenn, a research director at IDC, pointed out the challenges of overseeing burgeoning AI deployments. The difficulties associated with correlating risks from both authorized and shadow AI assets, user identities, and data storage systems necessitate a more integrated approach to security. The AI Command Center seeks to bridge this visibility gap.
Netskope’s initiative comes amidst a climate where many organizations struggle with AI’s rapid growth, lacking a proper understanding of AI tools’ risk profile. According to a report from Netskope, 3% of organizations have implemented AI solutions, but only 7% enforce real-time security policies on these tools. A staggering 94% of organizations are making security decisions with incomplete visibility, posing a challenge in distinguishing between managed and unmanaged AI accounts.
The AI Command Center aims to transcend basic AI discovery, providing organizations with a nuanced understanding of how AI technologies are utilized and the associated risks. This new tool is available from today, marking a significant step in aligning security operations with the fast-paced landscape of AI innovations.
