Secure Access to AI Tools
Let Your Team Use AI Tools Without Losing Control of Your Data
Blocking external AI tools outright just pushes usage to personal devices and unmanaged accounts where there's no visibility at all. The realistic goal isn't to stop usage — it's to see what's being submitted and stop the sensitive parts before they leave.

Why the usual approach falls short
Traditional DLP was built for email attachments and file uploads. It has no visibility into text typed directly into a chat interface, which is exactly the gap generative AI tools created.
The MaskFlare approach
MaskFlare Vault inspects content submitted to external AI tools through the same policy engine that already covers email and file uploads, blocking sensitive submissions without blanket-blocking the tools themselves.
Benefits
Visibility into a previously blind channel
See what's being submitted to external AI tools, on top of what leaves through email or uploads.
Policy, not prohibition
Allow the tools your team wants to use, while blocking the sensitive submissions that create risk.
Built on
Understand the underlying risks
Frequently asked questions
Does this work for any AI tool, or only specific ones?
Inspection applies to traffic passing through Shield or Access, which covers browser-based AI tools generally rather than requiring a specific integration per tool.
Does this only catch file uploads, or also text pasted into a chat box?
Both — Vault inspects text typed directly into a chat interface, which is exactly the gap most traditional DLP has, since it was built to watch file attachments and uploads, not free-typed prompts.
Can we run this in a monitoring-only mode before turning on enforcement?
Yes — audit-only mode logs what would have been blocked without enforcing it, a reasonable way to measure exposure before turning on blocking.
Does this require installing anything on employee devices?
No — inspection runs on traffic already passing through Shield or Access, without a separate agent dedicated to AI monitoring.
