Shadow AI Is Everywhere. Cato Puts You Back in Control.

Hello and welcome to another video from Cato Networks. Generative AI boosts productivity, But how much sensitive data is being shared? Could the use of Gen AI lead to data leaks or compliance issues? And what if AI chatbots generate flawed outputs that mislead business decisions?

Lack of visibility into Gen AI usage creates serious risks. That’s why Cato introduced GenAI Security Controls as a native extension of Cato CASB. It gives organizations full control over GenAI activity with no extra deployments or consoles or licenses. Let’s dive in.

The Cato Gen AI dashboard gives IT and security teams instant visibility into Gen AI application usage across the organization. It spotlights which apps are sanctioned or unsanctioned, risky apps, alongside with data violations, and the amount of users leveraging AI apps.

With built in categorization by use case, from conversational to code generation, it helps teams quickly understand how GenAI is being used. The usage breakdown gives IT teams a real time pulse on how Gen AI tools are used. You can track blocked, monitored, or allowed actions, see which apps are most active, who’s using them, and the type of activity performed.

From top apps like ChatGPT and Copilot to individual user behaviors, Cato makes ShadowAI visible and manageable. Cato delivers explicit usage visibility by identifying the type of sensitive data being shared, where it’s going, and who is sharing it.

Whether it’s source code, financial records, API keys, or personal data, violations can be traced back to specific users. The dashboard reveals policy and helps I teams understand exactly which data was uploaded to which application and whether the action was allowed or blocked, enabling swift mitigation and reinforcing the organization’s overall security posture.

The Cato’s application control engine has been enriched with fine grained Gen AI enforcement options.

Security teams can create category based rules to block risky tools like code assistance, restrict specific actions such as file uploads, or enforce tenant level access for corporate environments only.

Policy based controls embedded into the dashboard make enforcement precise, scalable, and aligned with business risk. Gen AI adoption doesn’t have to come with risks.

With Cato’s Gen AI security controls, enterprises can embrace Gen AI to boost productivity without sacrificing security. Be sure to check out our website for more information. Thanks for watching.
