Fleet Device Management has introduced new AI governance capabilities designed to provide visibility into tools, agents, and plugins installed on enterprise devices. This integration allows organizations to monitor token usage and AI-related spending while enforcing security and compliance policies.
Why it matters
As employees increasingly use unauthorized tools, businesses face significant shadow AI security risks. This platform provides the oversight necessary to manage data access and track AI usage patterns across an entire digital infrastructure.
The platform enables granular identification of AI agents and skills across operating systems through infrastructure-as-code and GitOps workflows. These inventory and visibility features are available within the Fleet Free product.

The Tech Race
This development marks a shift from passive hardware inventory to active software-layer governance in an increasingly automated tech landscape. By embedding AI oversight into infrastructure-as-code, the platform directly competes with legacy security tools struggling to track ephemeral AI plugins.
IT administrators gain immediate visibility into the AI tools running on their networks, enabling better cost tracking and automated policy enforcement. These features allow users to identify unauthorized agents and plugins, ensuring that compliance requirements are met without slowing down deployment workflows.
The takeaway
Enterprises should prioritize centralizing visibility into AI tool usage to mitigate the risks posed by shadow applications. Implementing governance frameworks early allows IT teams to balance the adoption of new AI skills with strict data security requirements.
