FAQs

What does Akto do for ChatGPT and Codex security?

Developers grant Codex access to private repos, sales summarizes pipeline data in ChatGPT, and legal redlines contracts through it, all bypassing your security stack. Over 70% of GenAI data exposures come from ChatGPT, roughly three-quarters of employees paste corporate data into AI tools, and the vast majority use personal accounts that skip enterprise controls entirely.

How is this different from ChatGPT Enterprise's built-in admin controls?

ChatGPT Enterprise controls only apply within OpenAI's workspace. They can't see employees using personal accounts, Codex CLI on unmanaged setups, or data pasted into ChatGPT Free. Akto sits at the device level and catches all ChatGPT and Codex usage regardless of account type or tier.

Does Akto require integration with OpenAI?

No. Akto Atlas works at the endpoint level - it observes ChatGPT and Codex activity through a browser extension and Endpoint Shield on employee devices, without any direct integration with OpenAI's APIs or infrastructure. Your OpenAI setup stays unchanged.

What kind of guardrails can Akto enforce?

Akto blocks sensitive data from leaking through prompts, file uploads, and custom GPTs. It can detect and restrict PII, source code, and secrets detection in real time. Enforcement happens before the data leaves the device - not after it's already reached OpenAI's servers.

Can Akto detect when employees use personal ChatGPT and Codex accounts on corporate devices?

Yes. Akto Atlas operates at the endpoint level, not at the OpenAI workspace level. It observes all ChatGPT and Codex activity on the device regardless of whether the employee is logged into a corporate workspace, a personal Plus account, or the free tier. This is the primary gap that OpenAI's own admin controls can't close.
