Software supply chain management company JFrog Ltd. today announced an expansion of its artificial intelligence governance capabilities within its Software Supply Chain Platform with the introduction of Shadow AI Detection.
The new Shadow AI Detection capability, introduced at the JFrog swampUP Europe conference, is designed to give enterprises the visibility and control needed to govern and secure the entire AI supply chain. Coverage includes guarding against uncontrolled use of shadow AI — AI models and application programming interfaces that can introduce significant security and compliance risks.
The offering seeks to assist with the issue whereby the rapid integration of AI across development pipelines has created a major governance challenge for organizations. For example, developers and data science teams frequently integrate AI models and services directly from providers such as Anthropic PBC, OpenAI Group PBC and Google LLC without organizational oversight. JFrog argues that this ungoverned activity creates dangerous blind spots that leave enterprises vulnerable to compliance violations, data leaks and supply chain attacks.
The new Shadow AI Detection service helps organizations automatically detect and create an inventory of all internal AI models and external API gateways used across the organization to access data from either approved or ad hoc third-party sources.
When the service detects shadow AI, the models and services can be governed centrally, allowing teams to enforce security and compliance policies across all AI assets. Shadow AI Detection also establishes defined paths for authorized users to access and employ third-party AI services to ensure controlled and fully auditable interactions and tracks and monitors usage of external AI models and APIs such as OpenAI or Gemini.
“Organizations should follow proven software development practices by creating developer-friendly workflows with strong security and robust governance,” said Yuval Fernbach, vice president and chief technology officer of JFrog ML. “The addition of Shadow AI Detection capabilities is intended to strengthen JFrog’s leadership in securing the AI supply chain 360-degrees, helping companies utilize AI safely and responsibly.”
