REPORTED DEVELOPMENT
Sophos announced AI Defense, a product intended to reveal and govern unauthorised AI-tool use across enterprise environments.
The offering focuses on visibility into AI applications and controls around what information can be shared through them. The announcement describes supplier capabilities rather than verified outcomes across customers.
The news does not identify a vulnerability affecting any particular company.
