Product Roadmap Priorities

Network traffic AI classification
Improving
Risk Reduction
IT-Security

ML-powered real-time discovery and classification of all AI tools—including unauthorized shadow AI—across enterprise network traffic without endpoint agents.

In Plain English

It's like having a security camera that automatically identifies every AI app anyone in your company is using, even the ones nobody told IT about.

Analogy

It's like a bouncer at a nightclub who memorizes every face, spots the fake IDs, and keeps a perfect guest list—except the nightclub is your corporate network and the guests are AI tools.

Real-time data exfiltration prevention
Improving
Risk Reduction
Engineering

ML-driven real-time classification of data flowing to AI tools with automated policy enforcement to prevent sensitive data exfiltration.

In Plain English

It automatically reads what employees are pasting into AI chatbots and blocks anything sensitive—like a spell-checker for secrets.

Analogy

It's like having a postal inspector who reads every letter going out, blacks out the classified parts, and sends back the ones that shouldn't leave the building—but at the speed of light.

Usage-cost pattern optimization
Improving
Cost Reduction
Operations

ML-powered spend intelligence that correlates AI tool usage patterns with costs to identify waste, optimize licenses, and forecast AI budget needs.

In Plain English

It watches how much your company spends on every AI tool and tells you which ones are a waste of money—like a financial advisor for your AI budget.

Analogy

It's like having a financial planner who watches every streaming subscription in your household, cancels the ones nobody uses, and warns you before your teenager signs up for three more.
