UpGuard Launches Free Security Tools Hub with New AI Policy Generator to Address the Spread of Shadow AI
UpGuard has launched a free security tools hub that includes an AI policy generator, aimed at helping organizations manage the risks posed by employees using unsanctioned AI tools. The release targets what the company describes as the spread of shadow AI in workplaces.
Why this matters: Shadow AI is what happens when employees start using AI tools on their own because the company has no clear policy. That means company data, customer records, and sensitive work product flowing into tools nobody approved or reviewed. UpGuard is offering a free policy generator, which is useful, but a generated policy only matters if someone enforces it. The real gap in most organizations is not a missing document. It is that nobody is watching what tools employees actually use.
