Secure AI use by employees and agents
Published Monday, November 9, 2026
Arceris builds an AI security gateway that helps organizations protect sensitive data and control what AI agents can do. We give security teams a way to set rules for the AI tools their colleagues already use, whether someone is drafting a document in ChatGPT, working with Claude Code, or connecting an internal application to a language model through an API. For example, an employee might ask an AI assistant to summarize a customer email that contains a national ID number or bank account details. Arceris can mask those details before the prompt reaches the model, so the employee can still get a useful summary. When a document is too sensitive to share, the security team can set a policy to block the upload. Organizations that already use Data Loss Prevention can apply their existing policies to these interactions. AI agents need a different kind of oversight because they can take actions on a user’s behalf. With Arceris, a development team can allow a coding assistant to work within a project folder, restrict its access to other files, and specify which external tools it may use. Security teams can review policy decisions and send events to their existing monitoring systems. Organizations can deploy Arceris on their own infrastructure and apply policies to both cloud services and locally hosted models. This gives banks, public institutions, and other organizations with strict data-handling requirements control over which models their teams can use and what information they can share with each one.
