Shadow AI discovery

80%

of workers use unapproved AI tools in their jobs.

UpGuard, 2024

You can't govern what you can't see.

AI agents, MCP servers, and model endpoints are spreading across your infrastructure faster than any team can track by hand. Every tool nobody approved is a blind spot — invisible to security, untracked by compliance, unowned by anyone.

API, network, and kernel. One map.

API inventories see what is registered. Network traffic and host sensors see what is actually running. Octic combines all three.

Network and kernel-level discovery

Kernel-level sensors on servers and laptops see the AI apps, packages, and processes on each host. Network traffic analysis finds AI agents and API endpoints that never made it into any registry or API inventory.

  • Kernel-level sensors on Linux and Windows
  • Packet-level protocol identification
  • Coverage grows as sensors roll out

API-based discovery

Connects to the platforms you already run to list known AI agents, MCP servers, and API endpoints, then matches them against what the sensors and the network see.

  • Known AI agents, MCP servers, and API endpoints
  • Matched against sensor and network findings
  • Runs continuously, not quarterly

Together, they show what an API inventory alone would miss.

What Octic discovers.

The AI running in your stack, whether someone registered it or not.

AI agents

Autonomous agents calling LLMs without approval

MCP servers

Model Context Protocol servers exposing tools and data

API endpoints

Unregistered endpoints serving or consuming model output

Model proxies

Intermediary services routing requests to LLM providers

LLM gateways

Gateway services aggregating access to multiple models

Shadow deployments

AI workloads running outside approved infrastructure

Shadow AI breaches cost $4.63M on average — $670K more than standard breaches.

Discovery is the first step. These capabilities work together to map, track, and govern your AI stack.

Network discovery

Kernel-level sensors and packet analysis surface AI resources that API scanners miss. Linux and Windows hosts today.
