The AI Risk Challenge

AI Risk Is Expanding Across Data, Models, and Identities

AI introduces new exposure paths across sensitive data, model pipelines, prompts, outputs, access permissions, non-human identities, shadow AI tools, and autonomous agents. Security teams need context to identify which risks matter most.

Sensitive AI Data

Training data, prompts, outputs, RAG sources, and model pipelines can contain regulated or confidential information.

Shadow AI

Unapproved tools, rogue models, unmanaged copilots, and hidden workflows can operate outside governance.

Excessive AI Access

Users, agents, applications, and service accounts may have more access to AI data and models than needed.

Compliance Exposure

AI systems can violate data minimization, purpose limitation, residency, privacy, and governance requirements.

What Is AI Risk Management?

Reducing AI Exposure Across Data, Models, and Access

AI risk management helps organizations identify, assess, prioritize, and reduce risks created by AI systems, models, agents, copilots, prompts, training data, access permissions, and AI-powered workflows.

01

Discover AI Risk

Find risky AI systems, shadow AI, sensitive training data, exposed prompts, unmanaged models, agents, and workflows.

02

Understand Impact

Connect AI assets to sensitive data, identities, access permissions, ownership, activity, lineage, and business context.

03

Prioritize Exposure

Rank AI risk based on data sensitivity, access, usage, policy violations, regulatory exposure, and business impact.

04

Remediate Risk

Reduce AI exposure through access changes, quarantine, deletion, redaction, ownership workflows, and policy enforcement.

AI Risk Gap

AI Risk Cannot Be Reduced Without Data Context

AI risk management requires more than model inventories or policy checklists. Teams need to understand which sensitive data powers AI, who can access it, how it moves, where it creates exposure, and what remediation will reduce risk fastest.

Disconnected AI Risk

Risk Signals Without Actionable Context

  • Model inventory without sensitive data visibility
  • AI policies without ownership or access context
  • Risk alerts without prioritization or remediation
  • Compliance gaps across data, models, and AI workflows
