AI Command Center (AICC) is a Netskope capability that provides comprehensive visibility, governance, and risk management for AI usage across your organization.
As enterprises rapidly adopt AI services, risks such as shadow AI, data leakage, and unmanaged AI assets increase. AI Command Center addresses these challenges by enabling security teams to:
-
Discover AI applications and services in use.
-
Discover MCP Servers in use.
-
Monitor user interactions with AI systems.
Supported Entities
AICC discovers the following asset types, each surfaced through a specific Netskope product as a source.
| Entity | Definition | Source |
|---|---|---|
| AI Applications | AI Applications Applications that provide AI-driven functionality, such as chatbots, coding assistants, and image and video generation tools. | Next-Gen Secure Web Gateway (NG-SWG) |
| MCP Servers | Integration and execution layers for AI systems. They enable communication between models and external tools, retrieval of contextual data, and execution of actions. | – Agentic Broker – Netskope Client (Endpoint AI Discovery) |
| Agents | AI-enabled extensions that run inside a browser, code editor, or desktop, such as browser extensions, editor extensions, and desktop extensions. | Netskope Client (Endpoint AI Discovery) |
| Models | Models running locally on managed endpoints, such as open-source LLMs running in frameworks like Ollama or vLLM. | Netskope Client (Endpoint AI Discovery) |
| Identities | Users and unknown entities that interact with AI applications and MCP servers. Known identities are users authenticated through your Identity Provider (IdP). Unknown identities represent unauthenticated or unrecognized traffic sources, identified by source IP address. | Next-Gen Secure Web Gateway (NG-SWG) |
