Securing AI native apps directly on devices
AI apps such as ChatGPT and Claude have become part of everyone's daily workflow, but they introduce new security risks that traditional security tools weren't built to handle. Security teams at companies from startups to Fortune 500s, are struggling to keep up. Traceforce gives a company’s security team visibility of how AI apps are being used across company’s devices, and the ability to detect and prevent security breaches and unsafe actions as early as possible.
