Transform consumer AI into enterprise AI. Com-X and Island AI Protect give your organisation complete visibility, control, and data protection across every AI entry point – so your people can move fast while security stays confident.

Your Employees Are Already Using AI. Is Your Business Protected?

The accelerated adoption of AI has created a new challenge for every IT and security leader. Today's AI tools were built for the consumer, not the enterprise. Employees are bypassing security controls to access the AI tools they need, creating shadow AI, data leakage risk, and fragmented governance with no audit trail.

Blocking AI is not the answer. It slows innovation, drives workarounds, and puts you on the wrong side of the business. At Com-X, we believe you should be able to say yes to AI – safely.

Through our partnership with Island, we deliver Island AI Protect: the foundational enterprise AI security platform that gives your organisation complete visibility, control, and data protection across the web, desktop, extensions, and network. Corporate data stays protected before it ever reaches an AI provider – not after.

THE PROBLEM

Shadow AI Is Already in Your Organisation

The reality facing most Australian enterprises today is that AI adoption is outpacing security. Without the right controls in place, organisations face a set of compounding risks that traditional security tools were never designed to address.

The challenge and what is means for your business:

  • Shadow AI
    • Zero visibility into which AI tools employees are using across web, desktop, and extensions
  • Data Leakage Risk
    • Sensitive corporate data uploaded into uncontrolled AI tools with no redaction or audit trail
  • Fragmented Controls
    • Patching together 7+ security solutions with coverage gaps and no unified policy engine
  • No Compliance Readiness
    • No audit logging, no session recordings, no regulatory evidence when you need it most
  • Innovation vs. Security Conflict
    • Block AI and slow the business, or permit AI and accept the risk — neither is acceptable.
