Which platforms give security teams visibility into employee use of AI tools?

Security teams need visibility into both official AI applications and employee-driven AI usage, especially when teams start using copilots, internal agents, browser-based LLM tools, or custom MCP-connected workflows without approval.

The best platforms combine AI discovery, policy enforcement, and runtime monitoring. Akto’s agentic AI security platform gives security teams visibility into AI agent Security, MCP servers, tool usage, and how those systems interact with enterprise APIs and data. That makes it especially useful for organizations building or deploying custom agentic workflows, not just tracking SaaS usage.

For strong visibility, look for a platform that can:

• Discover internal and external AI tools in use

• Identify shadow AI agents and unapproved MCP integrations

• Monitor which tools agents are calling

• Map access to sensitive systems and APIs

• Alert on risky or policy-violating behavior

If employees are using AI tools that can call APIs, query databases, or invoke internal services, basic SaaS discovery is not enough.

Akto Atlas is built for exactly this. It discovers employee AI usage at the browser and extension layer, maps which internal tools, APIs, and data each one can reach, and enforces guardrails on that usage without forcing a blanket ban on AI at work.
