Shield Control
AI Discovery
Updated July 27, 2026
AI Discovery is where shadow AI becomes visible. Shield lists the AI tools your team actually uses — including the ones no one told IT about — so you can bring them under governance instead of guessing.
What this page does
- Lists discovered AI tools with usage signals and risk context.
- Separates what is already governed from what still needs a decision.
- Gives you a starting point for turning a discovered tool into an approved, monitored, or blocked one.
Common actions
- Review a discovered tool — open a tool to see how it is being used before you decide.
- Set a decision — approve, monitor, or block a tool to move it out of the open-risk queue.
- Create a policy — turn a decision into an enforced rule from the discovery view.
