PDI Technologies has officially unveiled PDI Managed AI Prompt Protection, a comprehensive security solution designed to help enterprises identify, govern, and secure employee AI usage in real time. Available globally, the service provides organizational oversight across both approved enterprise platforms and unmanaged “shadow AI” tools, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Cursor, and custom large language models (LLMs).
The rollout addresses a critical visibility gap facing modern security operations. While most enterprises maintain clear inventories of sanctioned software, few possess the telemetry required to monitor unmanaged AI tool adoption, track prompt data transfers, or enforce corporate data governance policies. According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026, the proportion of security incidents tied directly to shadow AI more than doubled over the past year to 43%, with affected organizations incurring an average breach cost of $5.39 million.
Key Capabilities of PDI Managed AI Prompt Protection
PDI Managed AI Prompt Protection solves crucial problems with visibility and security by offering governance throughout the whole AI landscape of your company. This platform audits all activities of employees with more than 15,000 commercial and customized AI products, actively blocking shadow AI threats and forming a solid single source of truth for all enterprise AI operations. In order to protect intellectual property and other proprietary information, PDI system is able to conduct the process of inspection and redaction of all the data that is being sent to the AI. This means that any personally identifiable information, financial payments, and intellectual property data will be censored.

In addition to automatic protection, the design of PDI incorporates in-line contextual coaching to teach your employees how to use prompts properly and safely. This managed protection solution is designed for the most sophisticated and challenging operating environments in such particular industries as convenience retail, petroleum wholesale, QSRs, specialty retail, automotive services, and enterprise hubs.
The service establishes a unified control layer that automatically surfaces unmanaged AI activity across more than 15,000 commercial and custom AI services. By intercepting user prompts before they reach third-party language models, the system dynamically redacts customer data, payment details, intellectual property, and proprietary code. Simultaneously, it delivers in-line user coaching to reinforce safe prompt engineering and compliance habits without interrupting employee productivity.
Tom Jackson, Vice President of Information Technology at Beck Suppliers, Inc., one of Ohio’s leading independent fuel suppliers and convenience retail operators, said, “AI is unlocking new opportunities across our business, enabling greater efficiency, innovation, and decision-making. At the same time, the rapid adoption of AI technologies introduces important governance, security, and compliance considerations. To maximize the benefits of AI while protecting sensitive information, we need greater visibility into how these tools are being used across the organization.”
“Organizations are rapidly adopting AI to boost productivity, accelerate decision-making, and achieve better business outcomes,” said Ameer Karim, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Security & Network Solutions, PDI Technologies. “At the same time, AI creates new blind spots for security teams. PDI Managed AI Prompt Protection helps organizations gain the visibility, control, and managed expertise needed to enable secure AI adoption at scale.”
