## Summary

PDI Technologies announced a new service called Managed AI Prompt Protection that gives organizations visibility into AI usage across their workforce. The offering can identify activity from more than 15,000 AI services, including popular tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Cursor and custom large language models. It also redacts sensitive data in real time and provides in‑the‑moment coaching to encourage responsible AI practices.

IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026 says shadow AI now accounts for 43% of security incidents, a share that has more than doubled, and the average breach cost has risen to $5.39 million. Tom Jackson, vice president of IT at Beck Suppliers, Inc., said the rapid adoption of AI creates governance and compliance challenges that require greater visibility. Ameer Karim, senior vice president and general manager of security at PDI, said the service helps firms gain the control needed to adopt AI securely at scale.

- Shadow AI accounted for 43% of security incidents in 2026, with average breach cost $5.39 million (IBM report).
