AI security for government and the public sector
Public bodies want the productivity of AI without putting citizen data or sensitive information at risk. PexLens lets you approve the right AI services, keep protected data out of everything else, and keep visibility of the software running on your endpoints.
The challenge
What makes AI and software risk different in government and public sector
Citizen and sensitive data
Case files, citizen records and internal briefings must not reach public AI services.
Shadow AI
Staff try new AI tools faster than they can be assessed, often through the browser.
Secure software expectations
Guidance on SBOMs and secure development raises the bar for the software agencies build and buy.
