Overview

Shadow Defend is an AI security and shadow AI monitoring platform that helps businesses discover unauthorized AI tools, prevent sensitive data exposure, and enforce AI usage policies across their organization.

Short description

Your employees use AI tools every day. Most of that usage happens through unapproved accounts, on unapproved tools, with zero visibility for IT. Shadow Defend fixes that. From the browser, in minutes, without touching your network.

Sources behind this listingSee source links, recorded dates and owner corrections.

Observed facts come from public pages. Founder-edited facts are supplied by the verified owner. AI-inferred facts are model interpretations; derived facts are calculated from other data. A source link lets you check the current page. It does not guarantee the fact is still current.

Dates show when a record was saved. Some older records use the listing’s update date; they are not proof of a fresh check. Missing source records are shown explicitly.
