SurePath AI is an agentless network gateway for AI discovery and governance, now part of the F5 AI Security Platform. If you are comparing it against other options, here is a ranked, honest list of real alternatives for Workforce AI Security, led by Aona AI. We include where Aona is weaker, carried verbatim from our own head-to-head comparison.
A ranked list of real, publicly known alternatives. Aona AI leads for teams whose AI risk lives on the endpoint and in the browser, not just the network gateway. Every vendor below is a genuine product you can evaluate.
Workforce AI Security at the browser and endpoint layer: shadow AI discovery, real-time coaching, DLP for AI tools, governance, and AI upskilling. SOC 2 Type II, 92.9% AI classification accuracy.
Best for: Regulated mid-market teams whose AI risk is native desktop AI apps, browser use, and employees who need coaching in the moment, with a self-serve 30-day trial.
Network-based AI discovery, intent classification, and shadow AI detection, sitting inline with corporate network traffic; now part of the F5 AI Security Platform with enterprise reach.
Best for: Large enterprises whose AI risk is server-side egress, non-browser apps, or unmanaged devices, and who want an agentless network gateway.
Network-layer AI security and governance that observes AI traffic and applies identity-aware policy at the network, built for large-enterprise scale.
Best for: Large enterprises whose AI risk is mostly browser traffic at scale across a managed network.
Generative AI governance via a lightweight browser extension and desktop client, nudging users toward safer behaviour across many AI surfaces.
Best for: US-centric enterprises that want a browser-extension data-protection layer for employee AI use.
Broad GenAI security platform spanning workforce AI, an LLM firewall, and agent runtime controls for application AI security.
Best for: Organisations that need both workforce AND application AI security from a single vendor.
Cloud security and SSE platform with AI/genAI controls layered onto its proxy, providing inline visibility and policy for AI app traffic.
Best for: Enterprises already standardised on Zscaler's proxy who want AI controls inside that stack.
We carry these caveats verbatim from our own Aona vs SurePath AI comparison. An honest alternatives list has to include where the leader falls short.
