Engineers paste customer PII into personal ChatGPT accounts to debug issues. This data leaves your perimeter with no log, no consent, no recovery.
Sales teams use unlicensed Copilot instances to draft proposals, unknowingly feeding deal data into third-party model training pipelines.
Finance analysts connect AI tools directly to spreadsheets containing revenue projections, cap tables, and M&A data.
IT can't block what it can't see. Traditional DLP tools don't understand AI API traffic — they're blind to the new attack surface.
Varman inspects network traffic for AI API fingerprints — model endpoints, token payloads, and SDK headers — identifying unauthorized AI usage without requiring endpoint agents or employee monitoring software.
Every detected shadow AI instance is automatically cross-referenced against your sanctioned tool catalog. Policy violations are flagged in real time with context: user, department, data type accessed, and risk classification.
Security teams choose their response: quarantine (block API traffic), escalate (route to manager for approval), or approve (add to sanctioned list with policy constraints). Full audit trail of every remediation decision.
Inspects AI API traffic at the network layer without requiring endpoint software or employee monitoring.
Flags calls to known AI endpoints (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) from unregistered sources within your organization.
Maintains a live catalog of all AI tools in use — sanctioned and unsanctioned — with usage frequency and data risk scores.
Automatically classifies shadow AI by data sensitivity, geographic risk, and potential regulatory exposure.
Weekly boardroom-ready report showing shadow AI trends, top violating departments, and remediation status.
Automatically blocks API traffic from high-risk shadow AI tools based on configurable risk thresholds.
