AI Governance Has a Blind Spot It's Called the Endpoint

AI adoption has outrun the security stack you already own. Desktop apps, local models, screen-scraping extensions — most of it runs invisibly, on the employee’s machine, where network, cloud, and browser DLP were never designed to look. The risk isn’t coming. It’s live.
Teramind closes the gap where AI actually happens — the endpoint. Full visibility. Real-time enforcement. Audit evidence that holds up.

The Governance Gap Is Closing - Fast

The lack of visibility into employee AI interactions has created an escalating crisis, defined by critical data loss risks and intensifying regulatory deadlines.

Shadow AI Is the Default
Most enterprise AI usage runs on tools IT never approved and cannot see. Every unsanctioned prompt is a potential data exfiltration event, and adoption is only accelerating.
AI Breaches Cost More
Breaches involving unsanctioned AI carry a measurable premium over standard incidents — in remediation cost, regulatory exposure, and reputational damage.
Agents Outrun Governance
Autonomous agents are being deployed faster than the controls around them. “What did the agent do, and on whose behalf?” has no answer in most environments.
Voluntary Compliance Is Over
The EU AI Act, the Colorado AI Act, and a wave of state and sector rules now mandate AI transparency, risk management, and auditable oversight.
Teramind's Unique Position

Governance Where AI Actually Happens

Every other AI governance approach watches the network, the cloud, or the API. Teramind watches the endpoint – the one place every AI interaction is guaranteed to surface, whether it is a sanctioned enterprise LLM, a rogue desktop app, a browser extension scraping screen content, a CLI agent operating headlessly, agentic AI like OpenClaw, or a local model with zero network footprint.

That single architectural choice is what lets Teramind deliver governance outcomes the rest of the market cannot.

Discover every AI tool in use

Teramind inventories AI usage across web, desktop, browser extension, CLI, IDE, and local-model channels automatically. Shadow AI stops being a theoretical risk and becomes a managed list.

Enforce policy at the moment of risk, not after the fact

Block a sensitive paste into ChatGPT. Stop a confidential file from being dragged into an AI portal. Redirect users from personal AI accounts to your corporate instance. Controls fire at the endpoint, before data leaves the machine.

Reconstruct any AI incident end-to-end

When something goes wrong, replay the full session with synchronized prompt and response content. Distinguish honest mistakes from deliberate exfiltration in minutes, not weeks.

Govern AI agents the same way you govern humans
Autonomous agents acting on the endpoint leave the same behavioral signals as users. Teramind treats agents as a monitored identity – with the same visibility, policy enforcement, and audit trail.

The Primary Channels of Enterprise AI

Employees interact with AI through a variety channels — some live in the browser, some bypass the network entirely, some run with no network activity at all. Only the endpoint sees all of them.

Pasting sensitive text

Proprietary code, customer records, confidential strategy pasted straight into prompts.

Uploading files
Documents, spreadsheets, source code, and design files dragged into AI interfaces.

API keys, tokens, and passwords copied from vaults into agent configs.

Exposing screen content
Extensions and agents reading the active page or desktop to generate responses.

The Teramind AI Governance Suite

AI Governance on Teramind is a pre-configured suite of purpose-built dashboards and a ready-to-deploy behavioral rule library that activates the moment you turn it on. Your team does not build governance from scratch – they configure what is already there.

AI Usage Dashboard

“Who is using AI, how often, and what are they actually saying to it?”
Employee-level visibility into AI adoption and content. Tracks activity trends over time, ranks users by volume of AI interactions, and captures the full prompt-and-response content of every conversation — with direction, timestamp, tool, and session replay attached. The foundation for understanding real AI behavior in your workforce, not just counting logins.

Agentic AI Dashboard

“What autonomous agents are running on my endpoints, and what are they doing?”
Purpose-built visibility for the agent era. Detects execution of agentic AI tools, tracks their commands, and flags configuration changes that could weaken policy. Gives you the one thing no network-based tool can: behavioral attribution for actions the agent took on the user’s machine.

AI Data Exfiltration Dashboard

“Is sensitive data leaving through AI channels?”
Focused on the outbound risk surface. Monitors file uploads to AI portals, clipboard transfers of regulated data, API key pastes, and credential exposure to third-party models. Built on Teramind’s behavioral DLP foundation – the same engine trusted for insider risk, now extended to AI-specific exfiltration vectors.
Capture high-fidelity audit evidence (who, what, when, context) around AI usage to support SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, and EU AI Act compliance.

The Behavioral Rule Library
Governance Out of the Box
11 Rules. Day One Enforcement.

Teramind ships a pre-built AI Usage policy with 11 behavioral rules covering the channels and risks that matter most. Turn it on, configure a few organization-specific values, and you are governing AI on day one.

Detect AI Application Execution

Flags when generative AI desktop apps or browser-based tools launch. Full visibility into AI tool adoption across the workforce.

Detect AI by Text on Screen

Uses OCR to identify active AI interfaces even when the network signal is hidden or the tool is embedded inside another application.

Detect AI-Native Browser Launch

Catches execution of AI-embedded browsers like Comet, Neon, and Monica that bypass traditional browser DLP.

Detect Claude CLI Access

Captures terminal-based AI usage that is invisible to browser and network monitors.

Detect Agent Command Execution

Creates an audit trail of every command an AI agent executes on the endpoint. The accountability layer for agentic AI.

Detect Autonomous Agent Activity

Surfaces unauthorized autonomous AI agent processes running on the endpoint.

Detect Agent Configuration Change

Flags writes to agent configuration files that could weaken policy enforcement or expand agent capabilities.

Detect API Key Paste to AI Apps

Catches API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, and other providers being pasted into AI tools before credentials are exposed.

Block File Upload to AI Chat

Prevents sensitive documents from being uploaded into AI chat interfaces.

Block Credit Card Sharing with AI

Stops payment card data from reaching third-party models at the moment of entry.

Block Personal AI Account Access
Prevents access to consumer AI accounts and redirects users to the organization’s governed, audit-logged instance.
From Blind Spot to Managed Surface

Close the AI Governance Gap

AI adoption has outrun the tools built to govern it — and the widest gap is identity. An employee on a consumer AI account and the same employee on your enterprise instance look nearly identical to network monitors, but the governance implications could not be more different. One is sanctioned, logged, and covered by your enterprise agreement. The other is Shadow AI with full data portability to an account your organization has no rights to.

Teramind closes this gap at the endpoint — the one place every AI interaction, on every account, is guaranteed to surface.

Distinguish personal from corporate AI in real time

By combining network-level signals, request metadata, and behavioral rules, Teramind identifies personal AI accounts versus corporate ones the moment they are used — and applies the right policy to each.

Turn your enterprise AI license into enforceable policy
Users on personal accounts can be warned, redirected to the corporate instance, or blocked outright. Users on the corporate account proceed normally, with full audit logging. What was a line item becomes a control.
Bridge what standard security tools cannot
Network inspection, cloud DLP, and browser DLP each miss a different set of AI channels. Teramind’s endpoint-centric approach captures every AI interaction across all nine — sanctioned or shadow, online or offline.
Embrace AI with confidence, not hesitation
Total visibility, enforcement at the moment of risk, and an audit trail that holds up under regulatory scrutiny. The full productivity potential of AI — governed, defensible, and an advantage rather than a liability.
