EXT / browser
Browser Extension
Covers SaaS and AI web apps. Sees the actual prompt, response, and upload — and enforces policy inline, before data leaves the tab.
- Prompt & paste inspection
- File upload control
- Inline block, warn, or redact
// AI interaction security
Secure every
AI interaction.
One place to see and control every AI interaction — across the browser, desktop apps, and IDEs. No network changes required.

01 — The problem
AI is everywhere. Your visibility isn't.
Existing gaps
Employees use AI in web apps, desktop apps, IDE plugins, and CLIs. Network tools see traffic, not prompts. Endpoint tools see files, not conversations. Nobody sees the whole picture.
Risk exposure
Source code, credentials, and customer data leave through prompts, pastes, and file uploads — into models your organization never approved and can't audit.
The solution
Put enforcement where the interaction happens: on the device, at the application layer. One policy engine that follows the user — not the tool.
02 — The platform
One platform. Three vantage points.
Two lightweight sensors on the device, one control plane in the cloud. Policies are set once and enforced everywhere the user meets AI.
AGT / desktop
Endpoint Agent
Covers what the browser can't see: native AI apps, IDEs, and CLIs. Discovers shadow AI on the device and applies the same policies.
- Shadow AI discovery
- Desktop app & IDE monitoring
- Works offline, syncs when back
CLD / control
VeGuard Cloud
The control plane. Define a policy once — allow, warn, monitor, or block — and it follows the user across browser and desktop.
- Unified policy engine
- Full audit trail & dashboards
- Risk signals per event
03 — Use cases
What teams do with VeGuard.
< Shadow AI Discovery
See every AI app and IDE plugin in use across your org — and exactly who's using each one.
< GenAI DLP
Block or redact secrets, source code, and PII before they reach a model.
< AI Access Control
Allow, warn, monitor, or block — per app, per user, per action.
< AI Misuse Prevention
Catch risky prompts and unapproved automation before they cause harm.
< Desktop AI, IDEs & CLIs
Govern ChatGPT and Claude desktop, Cursor, VS Code assistants, and coding agents like Claude Code — beyond the browser's reach.
< Web & SaaS DLP
Stop insider-threat exfiltration across everyday web and SaaS apps.
04 — The alternatives
See what the network can't.
Cover what one browser won't.
An SSE watches encrypted traffic from outside the app. An enterprise browser guards a single app users must switch to. VeGuard enforces on the device itself — every browser, every desktop AI tool, no migration.
| Approach | What it secures well | What it misses | Why VeGuard is different |
|---|---|---|---|
| SASE / SSE | Network traffic and access paths | The prompt, the action, and the full last-mile interaction context | VeGuard secures the interaction itself, not just the pipe carrying it |
| Enterprise browser | Activity inside one managed browser | Everything outside it — desktop AI apps, IDEs, CLIs, and other browsers — and it forces users to migrate | VeGuard covers every browser and native app without a browser migration |
| Local proxy | Routed traffic inspection | Native interaction context — with added routing complexity and latency | VeGuard works directly at the interaction layer, without depending on traffic redirection |
| Endpoint DLP / EDR / XDR | Files, processes, and endpoint events | File-less user actions like text input, copy/paste, and in-context AI usage | VeGuard secures user and agent interactions, whether file-based or file-less |

05 — Deployment
Deployed in an afternoon. Not a quarter.
1
Push the extension
Roll out via your browser's enterprise policy. No user action, no new browser to migrate to.
2
Install the agent via MDM
A lightweight menu-bar agent, delivered through the MDM you already run. No network changes, no proxies, no certificates.
3
Set policy once
Write the rule in VeGuard Cloud. It applies to browser AI and desktop AI the same way, and follows the user.

06 — FAQ
Questions, answered.
What does VeGuard actually monitor?+
The moment your data meets an AI model: prompts typed or pasted into chat tabs, files dropped into AI tools, code sent from IDE assistants and CLIs, and uploads and downloads in everyday SaaS. VeGuard watches the action itself, not the traffic that carries it.
Why isn't our existing stack enough?+
Most controls watch traffic or files. A prompt is neither — it's text entered directly into an app over an encrypted connection, often from a desktop tool no proxy ever sees. That gap is where shadow AI usage and file-less data leaks live, and it's the layer VeGuard covers.
How does VeGuard work?+
A lightweight extension turns any standard browser into a monitored workspace, and a menu-bar agent covers desktop AI apps, IDEs, and CLIs. Both analyze interactions in real time and enforce policies synced from VeGuard Cloud — no proxy, no traffic redirection, no separate browser.
How is VeGuard different from SASE/SSE solutions?+
SASE/SSE secures network traffic and access paths. VeGuard secures the interaction at the last mile, where prompts, actions, identities, and data exchanges actually happen.
How is VeGuard different from endpoint DLP solutions?+
Endpoint DLP typically focuses on files and traffic. VeGuard secures interactions in context, including file-based and file-less activity such as text input, copy/paste, and AI usage.
How is VeGuard different from an enterprise browser?+
Enterprise browsers require replacing the user's browser, and only secure activity inside their own environment. VeGuard secures any browser through a lightweight extension — plus desktop apps beyond any browser's reach — without forcing users to switch or disrupting how they work.
Can VeGuard integrate with our existing infrastructure?+
Yes. VeGuard complements tools like EDR, CASB, SWG, and SSE rather than replacing them, and is designed to work alongside your existing IAM/IdP, access management, SIEM, file-labeling, ticketing, and MDM systems.
Doesn't monitoring user activity violate privacy?+
No. Analysis happens locally on the device, and routine activity — including PII and private content — never leaves it. Only alerts on policy-matched, risky actions are sent to VeGuard Cloud for the security team to investigate.
