Shadow IT and AI discovery

Every new app leaves a receipt.

Aegis reads the sign-up mail it already sees and builds an inventory of every app adopted with a company identity, AI tools first.

The problem

New AI tools launch weekly. Your catalog does not.

Proxies, cloud access security brokers (CASBs) and single sign-on (SSO) reports miss the free-tier sign-up made with a work address.

See it work

Every sign-up email becomes a line in your inventory. AI tools first.

Every app announces itself in the inbox: a welcome email, a receipt, a share. Aegis already reads that mail, so the list builds itself across Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

How Aegis finds a new app

FAQ

What your security team will ask

Does it see AI tools signed up with a personal email?

No. Aegis sees adoption with a company identity. Personal accounts are out of view.

Does it read prompts or uploaded files?

No. It finds which tools people adopted and when, not what they type into them.

Can it revoke access or block an app?

Not today. Revocation happens in your identity provider or admin console.

Do we need Okta?

No. An approved list by CSV works too; without either, sanction status is less precise.
