- Endpoint-based SWG for the Gen AI era
See, govern and secure every Gen AI & SaaS app
right at the endpoint.
Employees are adopting AI faster than security can keep up. Kitecyber’s endpoint-based Secure Web Gateway gives you full visibility into Gen AI usage, blocks unsanctioned AI tools, and stops sensitive data from being pasted or uploaded into AI prompts — with no cloud gateways, no backhaul, no latency.
- Full shadow Gen AI discovery
- Prompt-level data protection

- The problem
Gen AI adoption is outpacing your controls
Your teams are pasting code, customer data and strategy into AI tools every day. Most of it never touches a system your security team can see — and legacy gateways weren’t built to watch a prompt box.
Shadow AI everywhere
New AI tools and agents appear weekly. Without a live inventory, you can't tell which ones your people actually use — or trust.
Data leaks into prompts
Source code, PII and secrets get pasted or uploaded into AI tools and may train external models you don't control.
Unsanctioned & unsafe tools
Free tiers, look-alike "AI" sites and over-permissioned OAuth grants quietly expand your attack surface.
Gateways are blind to it
Cloud and network gateways can't see in-browser copy/paste or uploads — the exact moment data leaves for an AI app.
- Why endpoint-based
Govern AI where it actually happens — on the device
Kitecyber runs a lightweight agent on every endpoint, sitting exactly where users interact with AI and SaaS apps. That’s how it sees the prompt, the paste and the upload — in context, in real time, before data ever leaves.
- Cloud gateway / SASE Blind spots
- Backhauls traffic to a PoP, adding latency and cost.
- Can't see clipboard paste or file uploads inside a browser AI tab.
- Discovers shadow AI only from SSO or email logs — missing most of it.
- Limited context on user, device posture and the specific AI app in use.
- Kitecyber endpoint SWG Full visibility
- Direct-to-internet with on-device inspection — no backhaul, no latency.
- Sees and controls copy/paste and uploads into AI prompts and SaaS.
- Agent-based discovery surfaces every AI app, agent and OAuth grant.
- Enforces identity-, device- and app-aware policy before data leaves.
The architecture difference
Traditional SWGs route every request through a distant cloud gateway before it reaches your apps. Kitecyber inspects on the device, then sends traffic direct — same visibility and control, none of the detour.

Everything you need to govern Gen AI & SaaS
One endpoint agent covers discovery, controls, data protection and compliance — for AI tools, SaaS apps and the open internet.
Shadow Gen AI discovery
Surface every AI tool in use — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot and AI features baked into SaaS — with agent-based discovery that catches what SSO and email logs miss.
Gen AI usage visibility
See who uses which AI apps, how often, and what categories of data they share — from one console with customizable dashboards and real-time alerts.
Sanctioned vs unsanctioned governance
Classify each AI app as sanctioned, coached or unsanctioned. Allow approved tools, warn users on risky ones, and keep an auditable governance policy.
Block unsanctioned AI apps
Stop access to unapproved or unsafe AI tools right at the endpoint — before a single prompt or file ever leaves the device.
Copy / paste & upload guardrails
Inspect clipboard paste and file uploads into AI and SaaS apps — in the browser and native apps — the exact blind spot cloud gateways can't watch.
Prompt-level data protection
Detect and block sensitive data — PII, secrets, source code, financials, customer records — from being typed, pasted or uploaded into AI prompts.
AI OAuth & agent visibility
Map AI agents and third-party AI apps connected to your SaaS via OAuth — the supply-chain APIs — and revoke over-permissioned or risky grants.
Granular, context-aware policies
Allow ChatGPT Enterprise but block the free tier; permit chat but block uploads; vary controls by user, group, device posture or location.
SaaS app management
Full inventory of sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS (AI & non-AI), users, OAuth connections and inactive accounts — to shrink your SaaS attack surface.
AI-powered internet threat prevention
Block phishing, malware, ransomware and look-alike "fake AI tool" sites with an AI URL engine and on-device SSL/TLS inspection.
AI governance & compliance reporting
Audit-ready logs of AI usage and data movement, with data-governance reports mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and emerging AI regulations.
SaaS & AI cost optimization
Spot redundant or unused AI and SaaS subscriptions and right-size spend with real usage data — no employee surveys required.

Questions
Gen AI & SWG, answered
It's an SWG that runs as a lightweight agent on each device instead of routing traffic through a cloud gateway or appliance. Inspection and policy enforcement happen on the endpoint, giving direct-to-internet performance plus visibility into in-app activity — like prompts, copy/paste and uploads — that network gateways can't see.
The agent discovers every AI tool in use across your fleet standalone apps like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, as well as AI features embedded in SaaS and AI agents connected via OAuth. You get a live inventory with users, frequency, data categories and risk classification in one console.
Yes. Because enforcement happens on the device, Kitecyber can inspect clipboard paste, typed input and file uploads into AI prompts — and block or warn when sensitive data such as PII, secrets, source code or customer records is involved. This is the key blind spot for cloud-gateway SWGs.
You classify AI apps as sanctioned, coached or unsanctioned. Unsanctioned tools are blocked at the endpoint before any prompt or file leaves the device, while approved tools stay fast and frictionless. Policies can vary by user, group, device posture or location.
Sanctioned apps are approved and allowed. Coached apps are permitted but users get a real-time warning when they try to share sensitive data, nudging them to a safer tool. Unsanctioned apps are blocked. This lets you enable AI productivity while keeping risky usage in check.
Cloud gateways see network traffic but not what happens inside the browser tab or native app. They struggle to catch copy/paste and uploads, add latency from backhauling, and discover shadow AI only from indirect logs. An endpoint agent sits where the user actually interacts with AI, so it sees the prompt in context and enforces before data leaves — with no latency penalty.
Yes. Beyond standalone AI tools, Kitecyber inventories AI capabilities embedded in your SaaS and maps third-party AI apps and agents connected to your SaaS through OAuth. You can review these supply-chain connections and revoke over-permissioned or risky grants.
It keeps audit-ready logs of AI and SaaS usage and data movement, and generates data-governance reports that map to frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and emerging AI regulations. That gives you defensible evidence of how AI is governed across the organization.
No. Approved tools run at direct-to-internet speed with on-device inspection — typically up to 4x faster than legacy SWGs. The goal is to enable safe AI use: allow sanctioned tools, coach on risky ones, and only block what's genuinely unsafe.
