AXME
Find every AI agent running in your organization — including the ones you didn't approve
A Fortune 500 recently discovered 600+ unknown agents running across their org. Security teams have no inventory, no controls, and no audit trail for any of them.
29% of enterprises have unsanctioned AI agents running without oversight.
Enterprises discover hundreds of unsanctioned agents with no inventory, no controls, and no audit trail — security blocks deployments by default.
Shadow AI is already in your org
Teams connect internal data to ChatGPT, run unregistered LangGraph services, and ship Zapier-plus-LLM hacks. Security discovers them after a data leak or invoice shock — not in architecture review.
Discovery is step one: Mesh fleet visibility and registration practices surface what runs, where, and under whose credentials — before mandating policy or kill.
Example: quarterly security sweep
Security runs inventory: 12 registered platform agents, 23 unknown workers calling OpenAI from VPC subnets, 4 with access to customer PII schemas. Platform offers migration path — register, apply policy template, connect audit — rather than blanket ban.
Two unsanctioned agents retired; remainder under Mesh governance within 30 days.
SOLUTION
How teams solve this with AXME.
Shadow AI
Teams spin agents outside platform.
No inventory
Security can't see what runs.
PATTERNS
Production details.
Discover
Mesh surfaces unknown agents.
Govern
Bring under policy.
Enforce
Without blocking teams.
Compliance risk
Unaudited agents create EU AI Act and SOC 2 exposure — discovery is step one.
From discovery to governance
Instrument network egress and mandate AXME Cloud for new projects. Use fleet dashboard for unknown agent IDs. Pair discovery with policy templates and training — shadow AI often exists because official path was too slow.

Common questions
- Detect all shadow AI automatically?
- Discovery combines registration, network signals, and org process — no silver bullet without cultural buy-in.
- Block unregistered agents?
- Policy and network controls can enforce — implementation depends on enterprise setup.
- Employee education?
- Platform should offer sanctioned path faster than shadow tools — governance enables speed with guardrails.
