What is ADX Vision?

ADX Vision is a cybersecurity solution developed by BlackFog that provides organizations with real-time visibility and control over how artificial intelligence tools interact with enterprise data. Built on BlackFog’s anti data exfiltration (ADX) technology, ADX Vision is designed to detect and prevent sensitive information from being shared with generative AI systems, particularly through unauthorized or unapproved AI tools commonly referred to as Shadow AI. 

As businesses increasingly adopt AI technologies such as large language models (LLMs), employees often use AI powered tools to improve productivity. However, these tools can also create new pathways for sensitive information to leave the organization. ADX Vision addresses this challenge by monitoring how data flows to AI systems and blocking unauthorized transfers before they occur.

The Growing Risk of Shadow AI

The rapid adoption of generative AI has introduced new security risks for enterprises. Employees frequently interact with AI chatbots, productivity assistants, and other tools that may process or store user input. If sensitive data such as intellectual property, customer records, or source code is uploaded to these platforms, it can be stored outside corporate security controls. 

Research associated with the launch of ADX Vision highlights the scale of the problem. Nearly 49% of employees report using AI tools that are not sanctioned by their employer, creating significant governance and security gaps. In addition, many employees are unaware of how AI platforms store or analyze the information they submit. 

This unmonitored use of AI tools can create hidden channels for data exfiltration, exposing organizations to intellectual property loss, regulatory violations, and reputational damage. ADX Vision was developed specifically to close these security gaps and provide enterprises with greater visibility into AI related risks.

How ADX Vision Works

ADX Vision operates directly on endpoint devices such as laptops and workstations. Rather than relying solely on network perimeter defenses, the solution continuously monitors device activity to identify when data is being shared with AI applications, models, or interfaces. 

When the system detects that sensitive information is about to be transmitted to an AI tool, it can automatically block the interaction in real time. This prevents confidential data from leaving the organization while still allowing employees to use approved AI services. 

Security teams can also configure policies that define which AI tools are allowed and which are restricted. This enables organizations to maintain strict governance while still enabling innovation and productivity through approved AI technologies.

Key Capabilities of ADX Vision

ADX Vision provides several capabilities that help organizations manage AI security risks.

Real-time AI monitoring

The platform continuously monitors endpoint activity to detect interactions with AI tools, including browser-based chatbots, enterprise AI features, and integrated AI assistants. 

Data exfiltration prevention

Built on BlackFog’s ADX technology, the solution stops sensitive data from being transferred outside the organization, helping prevent breaches before they occur. 

AI governance and policy enforcement

Organizations can enforce policies that restrict the use of unapproved AI tools while allowing trusted platforms to operate securely. 

Visibility into AI activity

Security teams gain insight into how employees are using AI tools and how data interacts with these systems across the enterprise.

Addressing a New Category of Insider Risk

Large language models (LLMs) and generative AI platforms introduce a new category of insider risk. When employees interact with AI systems, they may unknowingly expose sensitive information through prompts, file uploads, or integrations with external services. 

Because many AI platforms store or learn from user input, data shared with these systems may persist beyond corporate oversight. This creates long-term security and compliance concerns for organizations handling regulated or proprietary information. 

ADX Vision helps mitigate this risk by monitoring and controlling these interactions directly at the device level, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected.

Securing AI Adoption in the Enterprise

As organizations continue integrating AI technologies into their workflows, maintaining security and governance becomes increasingly important. ADX Vision enables companies to adopt generative AI tools without exposing their data to unnecessary risk.

By combining endpoint monitoring, real-time data protection, and automated policy enforcement, ADX Vision provides a practical approach to securing AI use across the enterprise. The platform delivers unified insights into AI activity and ensures that sensitive information remains protected even as AI adoption accelerates. 

In an era where AI is rapidly reshaping business operations, solutions like ADX Vision help organizations balance innovation with strong data protection and security controls.
