Your workforce is using AI. Is it secure? 55% of employees use unapproved AI tools at work. The gap between AI adoption and AI security is growing every quarter. Aona closes it, discovering Shadow AI, enforcing guardrails, and coaching employees to use AI safely.
Most AI security incidents are not caused by attackers. They are caused by employees who are trying to be productive.
55% of employees use AI tools not approved by their organisation. Each unapproved tool is an untracked data flow, no visibility, no control, no compliance record. The risk is not the tool; it is the data that flows through it.
Undetected Shadow AI = undetected compliance breaches
Employees routinely paste customer data, financial records, source code, and confidential documents into AI tools to get work done faster. Without guardrails, this creates regulatory exposure and competitive risk with every keystroke.
Every unguarded AI prompt is a potential data breach
Not all employees understand what data is safe to share with AI tools. Junior staff and non-technical teams are often the highest-risk users, not from malicious intent, but from a lack of awareness about AI data handling.
Human error drives the majority of AI data exposure events
Security that enables AI adoption, not one that fights it.
Get a complete inventory of every AI tool your workforce is using, approved and unapproved. Aona maps AI usage across your entire organisation within minutes, including tools accessed through personal accounts and browser extensions.
Full Shadow AI visibility in under 5 minutesApply real-time DLP guardrails to every AI tool interaction. Prevent sensitive data from leaving your organisation through AI prompts. Enforce acceptable use policies by role, team, and tool, automatically.

Just-in-time employee coaching reduces repeat incidents by 70%When Aona detects a policy risk, it doesn't just block the action silently. It tells the employee what happened, why the prompt was blocked, and suggests a safe way to accomplish their task, building AI literacy over time.
Security teams get a unified dashboard showing all AI tool usage across the organisation, policy violations, coaching interactions, and compliance reporting, without generating alert fatigue.
Discover, protect, and coach, the three pillars of workforce AI security.
Aona automatically surfaces every AI tool in use across your workforce, including shadow AI tools that haven't been approved by IT. Get a full picture of AI adoption, by team and by tool, within 48 hours.
Apply data-level policies across all AI tools. Block employees from uploading customer PII, source code, or confidential documents to unsanctioned services. Enforce different rules for different teams and data classifications.
When an employee attempts to share data that violates policy, Aona shows them why, and what to do instead. Just-in-time coaching builds AI literacy without creating friction or driving shadow AI underground.
