Common questions about Nudge Security's AIÂ security governance solution
Nudge Security uses a layered approach to discover AI use, starting with email-based discovery that works via a lightweight integration into your organization’s email provider (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace) and analyzes emails received from SaaS providers to identify account creation and other activity related to AI tools. From there, you can deploy our browser extension to gain deeper, real-time insights into frequency of AI use, file upload activity, password hygiene, and more. Nudge Security also offers API integrations into your business critical SaaS apps so you can monitor for integrations with AI tools that could allow data access.
No, Nudge Security is designed to provide visibility and governance without blocking innovation. Rather than implementing blanket bans, our approach helps you understand usage patterns, identify risks, and implement appropriate policies. You can choose to approve certain AI tools, require additional security measures, or restrict specific high-risk applications based on your organization's needs.
Most organizations can deploy Nudge Security in under an hour. Our platform integrates with your existing identity providers (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta, Azure AD) and doesn't require any endpoint agents or network proxies. You'll start receiving insights about AI tool usage immediately after deployment, allowing you to take action from Day One.
Nudge Security can detect virtually any AI tool being used in your organization, including popular options like ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Perplexity, Bard, and those you've never heard of. Â Our platform uses machine learning to recognize new AI tools as they emerge, without the need for new discovery rules to be added, or the need for you to input a list of tools to look for. This approach ensures you maintain visibility even as the AI landscape evolves.
Nudge Security helps organizations meet compliance requirements by providing comprehensive documentation of AI tool usage, data handling practices, and user behaviors. This documentation is essential for demonstrating due diligence in AI governance to auditors and regulators. Additionally, our platform helps enforce compliance policies through automated workflows and user guidance.
Nudge Security inventories the SaaS-to-SaaS OAuth grants that have been enabled between apps in your SaaS ecosystem and categorizes them by application type so you can get a full view of the OAuth grants and scopes that allow AI tools to access other applications. Additionally, you can use our growing list of connected apps to gain deeper visibility, including API integrations with AI apps. This gives you comprehensive visibility into where AI tools have been granted access to other systems, by whom, and what level of access was granted.
Yes. Our patented email-based discovery surfaces all AI apps and accounts, even those created before Nudge Security was deployed. Additionally, our integration with your IdP discovers OAuth grants that enable data sharing with AI apps (even those created in the past) and our API connections into your other critical SaaS apps discovers app-to-app integrations that allow AI tools access to your data, including MCP connections.
Nudge Security can discover: AI apps, user accounts, OAuth integrations between AI tools and other apps, API integrations between AI tools and other apps, MCP integrations, AI in the supply chain of other SaaS providers, data shared via AI prompts, trends of AI tool adoption and usage patterns, and spend on AI tools.
Yes. Nudge Security provides a vendor security profile for every AI app discovered (as well as every other SaaS app) which includes: Security program details, data training policy summaries, breach history, data locality, compliance attestations, and supply chain mapping.
Yes. Nudge Security discovers MCP server integration via our analysis of OAuth grants enabled by connecting to your IdP. Nudge can also discovery MCP integrations via our connected apps, API integrations that can be enabled with your business critical SaaS apps to monitor for risky integrations, security misconfigurations, and identity security risks.
