Measure the Productivity of Your AI Workforce
Shadow AI isn’t a future risk to plan for. It’s already operating inside your environment, accessing data, making decisions, and creating liability with every action nobody is watching. ANTS finds every agent, governs every decision, and gives your security team full control before a regulator or an incident does it for you.
3× more agents than IT knows
47 agents discovered in a first ANTS scan
0 endpoint agents required to get full visibility
Shadow AI creates risk when it operates
outside the controls of security teams
A shadow IT app stores data in the wrong place. A shadow AI agent makes decisions in the wrong place, with zero oversight and liability that compounds with every action.
The policy gap
Most organisations don’t struggle because they lack an AI policy. They struggle because that policy was never designed to govern systems that deploy in twenty minutes, access data across multiple systems, and make thousands of decisions before anyone looks at a report. By the time a periodic review runs, the damage is already done.
Where shadow AI breaks control
- Deployment gap - A capable AI agent can be built and deployed in an afternoon with no IT, no procurement, no oversight. Shadow IT took weeks to spin up. Shadow AI takes minutes.
- Data access depth - Unlike a shadow file share, an AI agent actively queries systems, synthesises data, and acts on inferences. Its data footprint is almost always wider than intended.
- Decision liability - Unreviewed, unlogged, ungoverned decisions in a regulated environment are not an oversight. Under EU AI Act, HIPAA, and equivalent standards, they are a violation.
Token, Cost & Behavior Intelligence
Bloomberg-grade telemetry for the AI runtime - every prompt, every model call, every dollar accounted for.
Find every agent including the ones nobody told you about.
ANTS operates at the API and SDK layer where agents actually run, not where they were supposed to be registered. It detects every active agent in your environment regardless of whether IT was ever told about it. No endpoint agents. No manual inventory process. No dependency on teams reporting their own deployments.
- ● Continuous real-time discovery, not a periodic audit
- ● Detects sanctioned agents, shadow agents, and embedded vendor AI
- ● Surfaces agents accessing data outside their original scope
- ● 3× more agents than the approved inventory — confirmed across every ANTS discovery deployment
- ● Scope violations — agents accessing data well beyond their original approval
- ● Ghost agents — at least one “decommissioned” agent still actively running
- ● Vendor-embedded AI — activated inside approved software updates with no separate AI review
Category 01: The well-intentioned build
A team deploys a capable agent. It works. They share it. Within two weeks it’s processing hundreds of records a day with zero security review. Nobody did anything wrong, but it is operating at scale on customer data with no governance layer.
Category 02: The forgotten deployment
An agent was approved 18 months ago. The team moved on. The vendor pushed model updates. It no longer does what it was approved to do. This is the most common form of shadow AI in regulated industries: authorised systems that drift while oversight fails to keep pace.
Category 03: The embedded vendor agent
Your CRM ships a routine update. Buried inside: a new AI feature, live the moment IT approved the update. No AI review. No data access assessment. Most organisations have no mechanism to catch it.
Govern AI Behavior in Production
A control plane between every agent and every model. Policies enforced at runtime, not in a spreadsheet.
Agent discovered & inventoried
Name, framework, data access, and owner recorded in real time.
Risk tier assigned automatically
Low / Medium / High by data type, decision consequence, and regulatory exposure.
Governance controls applied proportionally
Not every agent carries the same risk. Controls match the tier.
Live risk map, not a spreadsheet
Discovery tells you what is running. Classification tells you what it means.
Stop threats before they produce consequences
Security requires intervention before an agent decision executes, before data leaves, and before liability is created.
ANTS enforces at the runtime layer: every agent decision is evaluated against policy before it produces an output.
- ● PII and PHI blocked before it exits the system
- ● Unsafe actions prevented before they execute
- ● Jailbreak and prompt injection detection
- ● Behavioural drift alerts — before drift becomes an incident
- ● Kill switches for immediate agent quarantine
- ● Every enforcement event logged with full decision context
- ● PII exposure — blocked
- ● Prompt injection — detected & flagged
- ● Unsafe action — prevented
- ● Behavioural drift — alerted
- ● Rogue agent — quarantined (0 incidents passed through · all enforcement logged)
Audit-ready evidence for shadow AI control
Every enforcement event, policy decision, and risk tier is captured in a structured, exportable audit trail.
- ● EU AI Act
- ● HIPAA
- ● ISO/IEC 42001
- ● SOC 2 Type II
- ● GDPR
- ● NIST AI RMF
- ● CCPA
- ● California AI Regs
- ● Agent #0047 — discovered & logged
- ● Risk tier assigned — High
- ● Enforcement event — recorded
- ● Evidence stored — exportable
- ● Full trail ready for audit on demand
Every agent ANTS discovers, every enforcement action it takes, and every policy it applies is captured continuously in a structured, exportable audit trail. When a regulator asks for evidence of AI oversight, the answer takes minutes, not weeks of manual assembly.
- ● Continuous evidence collection — starts from the first scan
- ● Structured, exportable audit trails — timestamped per decision
- ● Mapped to EU AI Act, HIPAA, ISO 42001 obligations
- ● Shared system of record across security, legal, and compliance
The four-layer AI security model built for runtime control
Built for the layer where AI decisions actually happen, not the layer where they were registered.
Real-time inventory of every agent updated as new ones appear. A live picture, not a quarterly audit.
Risk level, data scope, and regulatory category automatically assigned. Governing a risk landscape, not a name list.
Guardrails at the decision point. Block, flag, escalate, quarantine before consequences, not after them.
Feeds directly into your compliance program, risk reviews, audit evidence, incident response, and board reporting.
Built for regulated and fast-moving industries
Defensible runtime AI security for industries that cannot wait for governance to catch up.
Credit, claims & customer data — Every AI decision touching customer financial data carries regulatory liability. ANTS provides the runtime layer that makes these deployments defensible with evidence that holds up in an audit, not just in a policy document.
Clinical AI & PHI protection — PHI exposure through an unmonitored clinical agent is not a near-miss as it is a HIPAA incident. ANTS detects and blocks PHI exfiltration at the runtime layer, before it leaves the system.
Client environment visibility — Running a discovery scan before a governance engagement starts reveals the real scope of shadow AI in client environments as typically far more than any interview-based assessment surfaces.
Scale without the incident — The organisations that scale AI without a governance crisis are not moving slowly. They built the security and discovery layer before the agent fleet grew large enough to become ungovernable.
Built for the People Accountable for AI
Designed with CIOs, CISOs and Heads of AI deploying real agents at real scale.
Stop threats before they produce consequences.
Detection without enforcement is monitoring. Security requires the ability to intervene before the decision executes, before the data leaves, before the liability is created. ANTS enforces at the runtime layer: every agent decision evaluated against policy before it produces an output.
- ● PII and PHI blocked before it exits the system
- ● Unsafe actions prevented before they execute
- ● Jailbreak and prompt injection detection
- ● Behavioural drift alerts — before drift becomes an incident
- ● Kill switches for immediate agent quarantine
- ● Every enforcement event logged with full decision context
- ● PII exposure — blocked
- ● Prompt injection — detected & flagged
- ● Unsafe action — prevented
- ● Behavioural drift — alerted
- ● Rogue agent — quarantined (0 incidents passed through · all enforcement logged)
“ANTS gave us the first honest answer to a question our board kept asking: is AI actually moving the needle?”
