LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uniti Solutions, the leading provider of telecom infrastructure solutions, has launched an "AI Security” offering, powered by Cato Networks, to help business customers combat a new landscape of cyber risks created internally by unsecured employee AI use.
AI is rapidly becoming part of everyday business operations, but much of its use remains difficult for organizations to govern. OpenAI reports that more than 2 million* business customers now use its tools, while Microsoft and LinkedIn found that 78%** of AI users bring their own AI tools to work.
While AI use creates opportunities for innovation and efficiency, it can also introduce new security threats that organizations cannot afford to ignore. This includes the practice of "Shadow AI,” which is the use of AI applications, models, or agents that have not been approved or governed by their organization’s IT and security teams. Unsecured activity can lead to employees leaking company data, as well as AI tools inadvertently exposing sensitive company information such as intellectual property (IP), source code, financial records, and customer information.
"Shadow AI is becoming one of the largest unmanaged risks in the modern enterprise. It’s already happening at scale, spreading faster than most IT teams can identify; it leads to new blind spots that traditional cybersecurity solutions can’t solve for,” said Mike Flannery, president of Uniti Solutions. "We’re committed to helping our customers stay ahead of today’s threats and tomorrow’s challenges. With Cato AI Security, we’re giving businesses access to advanced protection to help them embrace AI with greater confidence while strengthening their overall security posture.”
AI Security is designed to protect and govern AI interactions, from third-party AI usage and homegrown AI applications to autonomous agents. Cato’s cloud-native solution offers one platform with the complete range of functionality, so businesses can secure the AI they use, protect the AI applications they build, and control their AI agents operating across their network.
