AI SECURITY / SHADOW AI
Stop Sensitive Data From Leaking Into Public AI
Employees paste source code, contracts, and customer data into public AI tools every day — and that data is gone. Lattix enforces policy on the data itself, so sensitive information can't be fed into unsanctioned AI, and every attempt is visible.
Shadow AI is the fastest-growing data-leak channel in the enterprise. Well-meaning employees paste proprietary code, contracts, financials, and customer data into public chatbots and AI assistants to get work done — handing it to systems that may train on it, retain it, or expose it. Blocking AI outright fails (people route around it) and policies alone don't stop the behavior. Security teams have little visibility into what data is leaving and no enforcement at the moment it matters.
- Employees paste sensitive data into public AI tools that may retain or train on it.
- Blanket blocking pushes usage underground rather than stopping leakage.
- Acceptable-use policies don't enforce anything at the point of action.
- Security has little visibility into what data is going to which AI services.
- Once data is submitted to a public model, it can't be recalled.
Bind Policy to Sensitive Data
Lattix wraps sensitive data — code, contracts, customer records — in policy that governs where it can go. Because protection is bound to the data, it can't simply be copied into an unsanctioned AI tool as usable plaintext; the policy follows it.
Enforce at the Point of Use
Access and egress are evaluated against policy in real time, so attempts to move governed data into unauthorized AI services are denied where they happen — enforcing acceptable-use intentions instead of merely stating them.
Channel Users to Sanctioned AI
Rather than blanket blocking, you can permit governed data to flow into approved, policy-enforced AI surfaces while denying unsanctioned ones — giving employees a safe path so they don't route around controls.
See and Prove Every Attempt
Every access and egress decision is recorded to a tamper-evident ledger, giving security real visibility into what data was headed to which AI services — and verifiable evidence of enforcement for audit and incident response.
Prevent AI Data Leaks
Sensitive data can't be pasted into public AI as usable plaintext when policy travels with it.
Enforce, Don't Just Police
Turn acceptable-use policy into enforcement at the moment data tries to leave.
Safe Sanctioned Path
Permit approved AI tools so employees don't route around controls.
Real Visibility
See what data is headed to which AI services across the organization.
Audit Every Decision
A tamper-evident ledger proves enforcement for audit and incident response.

What is shadow AI and why is it a risk?
Shadow AI is the use of unsanctioned public AI tools by employees, who paste sensitive data like code, contracts, and customer records into systems that may retain or train on it. It's one of the fastest-growing data-leak channels because the data, once submitted, can't be recalled.
How does Lattix stop data leaking into public AI tools?
Lattix binds policy to sensitive data so it can't be copied into an unsanctioned AI tool as usable plaintext, and enforces access and egress decisions in real time at the point of use, denying governed data from reaching unauthorized AI services.
Do we have to block AI tools entirely?
No. Rather than blanket blocking, which pushes usage underground, Lattix lets you permit governed data to flow into approved, policy-enforced AI surfaces while denying unsanctioned ones, giving employees a safe path.
Can we see what data employees are sending to AI?
Yes. Every access and egress decision is recorded to a tamper-evident ledger, giving security visibility into what data was headed to which AI services and verifiable evidence of enforcement.
