Watch How User Risk Guides People to Approved Tools
It’s 4 pm on a Friday. Do you know which AI tools your team is using?
It's late Friday afternoon. A 5 pm deadline is looming, and one of your employees is searching for an AI tool to finish their task on time. They'll either choose an approved tool, or one they signed up for with their personal email.
Our short (and humorously exaggerated) video shows what happens when the unapproved AI tool option is chosen, and how User Risk responds.

Why shadow AI is so hard to control
Shadow AI is difficult to control because it's difficult to track. You can’t control what you can’t see, and SSO doesn’t see enough. When employees sign up for apps with personal credentials, those logins never touch your identity provider. That can leave up to 50% of the apps your people use completely invisible to you.
How User Risk guides teams from unsanctioned apps to approved tools
1. See the SaaS and AI tools your people actually use
User Risk discovers the SaaS apps and AI tools your people use in the browser, including ones they never signed into with a work account. See each app, its users, and granted permissions.
2. Turn AI policy into everyday behavior
Your AI policy shouldn’t just sit in a document. With User Risk, the rules you set drive real-time, browser-level enforcement. Set each app to Approved, Tolerated, Nudged, or Blocked, with exceptions for specific teams or people.
The moment an unapproved AI tool is accessed, employees get either a block or a nudge toward the approved alternative, with a way to request access.
3. Coach, don’t just block
A “Blocked” message stops one action, but it doesn’t change behavior. User Risk encourages positive behavior change by nudging employees toward approved alternatives while still allowing access requests, so your employees can keep working efficiently without compromising security.
Daily scans then automatically confirm that remedial actions were taken, so you know the fix actually stuck.
Shadow AI is likely already inside your business
A looming deadline and a panicking employee reaching for an unapproved AI tool is today's reality. With User Risk, you can maintain control. Guide employees towards approved tools, and prove to the board you're on top of your Shadow AI risk.
