Published 3 November 2026
WHAT HAPPENED
DefensX partnered with METCLOUD to deliver Shadow AI governance solutions to UK organizations. The partnership aims to help businesses adopt AI innovation while maintaining data security and compliance. DefensX also recently unveiled AI Guard One at Pax8 Beyond in Copenhagen, a product that turns any browser into a secure AI workspace.
WHO IS INVOLVED
DefensX and METCLOUD are the two companies behind the partnership. DefensX brings AI security and governance expertise, while METCLOUD.AI provides visibility and control tools for AI adoption.
HOW IT WORKS
The partnership delivers visibility, governance, and security controls for organizations adopting AI. The solution addresses challenges around data protection, compliance, and security by providing clear visibility into AI usage, strong controls over shadow AI, and effective governance frameworks to reduce risk.
WHY IT MATTERS
AI adoption creates risks around data protection, compliance, and security when left unmanaged. Organizations need oversight of shadow AI—unapproved AI tools and services used by employees—to maintain control while enabling innovation. This partnership helps companies embrace AI's productivity benefits without compromising security or regulatory compliance.
