New capabilities provide visibility into the use of AI tools across all endpoints and networks by individual identities, without the need for additional agents or infrastructure
PRAGUE, September 29, 2026 – ZEBR.AI, the distributor of N-able solutions in the Czech and Slovak markets, announced that N-able has made its Shadow AI Visibility capability available within its N-central and N-sight UEM solutions and the Adlumin security operations platform. The new capability helps organizations identify, classify, and monitor the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in managed environments, providing teams with the visibility needed to address rapidly expanding operational and security blind spots.
As AI adoption accelerates, employees are increasingly using AI applications, browser extensions, developer tools, APIs, and SaaS platforms outside traditional governance processes. A Gartner survey conducted between March and May 2025 among 302 cybersecurity leaders revealed that 69% of organizations suspect or have evidence that employees are using unauthorized public GenAI tools. This shadow AI activity can create security, compliance, and operational challenges when organizations lack visibility into which tools are being used, by whom, and where.
The Shadow AI Visibility capability expands N-able's AI-based cybersecurity solutions by helping customers identify AI usage across endpoints and networks without requiring additional agents, tools, or management consoles. Available through N-central, N-sight, and Adlumin, this capability enables organizations to create a clearer inventory of AI tools in use and take a more informed approach to AI governance.
“Organizations are adopting artificial intelligence at an unprecedented pace, but many IT teams are struggling with uncertainty about which AI tools are actually being used in their environments,” said Nicole Reineke, Chief AI Officer at N-able. “Shadow AI Visibility helps close this gap by providing actionable insight into AI usage across endpoints and networks. This capability gives customers the foundation they need to make informed decisions regarding security, compliance, and responsible AI adoption.”
Shadow AI Visibility offers:
· Endpoint and network visibility to identify AI applications, browser extensions, developer tools, command-line interfaces, and AI-related network activity.
· Classification and governance information that organizes detected AI tools by category, vendor, model family, and approval status.
· Identity and device attribution to help understand which users, devices, and processes interact with AI services.
· Integrated workflows within N-central, N-sight, and Adlumin that enable customers to view, search, report on, and respond to AI usage data through the platforms they already use.
For managed service providers (MSPs), this capability also creates opportunities to support customers with AI governance initiatives, including usage assessments, risk evaluations, compliance reporting, and policy recommendations.
Shadow AI Visibility is now available for N-central, N-sight, and Adlumin. For more information, visit: www.n-able.com/products.
