PDI Expands Security Portfolio with AI Prompt Protection to Combat Shadow AI

PDI

Enterprise software and cybersecurity services provider PDI Technologies announced an expansion of its managed security portfolio, introducing specialized AI Prompt Protection services. For multi-site operators, convenience retailers, and enterprise organizations looking to reduce the risk of unapproved use of AI (“Shadow AI”) among their employees, the new functionality brings ongoing visibility and DLP guardrails at a global level for all of an employee’s generative AI activity.

With the enterprise adoption of generative AI tools progressing rapidly, employee are constantly performing sensitive corporate database, confidential operational and customer details into unauthorized public AI tools to get their daily work done. Unauthorized prompt entry poses grave chance of data exposure, regulatory slip-ups and IP erasure. PDI’s AI Prompt Protection directly addresses this expanding threat vector by inspecting, filtering, and governing outgoing prompt traffic across enterprise networks in real time.

Real-Time Prompt Inspection and Automated Data Loss Prevention

PDI’s AI Prompt Protection integrates natively into existing enterprise security stacks and managed network solutions, applying automated policy enforcement at the network boundary. The service scans outbound data streams to identify sensitive data signatures—such as personally identifiable information (PII), payment card industry (PCI) data, confidential intellectual property, and proprietary operational logs—before prompts reach external AI servers.
