PDI Expands Security Services to Combat Shadow AI with AI Prompt Protection ATLANTA, GEORGIA, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PDI Technologies, a leading provider of managed security and network services, today announced PDI Managed AI Prompt Protection. The new AI security service is available globally to help organizations discover, govern, and protect AI usage across their workforce with visibility, security, and real-time control, including for the unmanaged use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Cursor, and many other custom LLMs.

While organizations often know which AI tools they've approved, far fewer know which tools employees actually use, what information they share, or whether they use AI responsibly. As AI adoption accelerates, that visibility gap is fueling a growing shadow AI challenge and becoming a serious business risk. According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026, shadow AI's share of security incidents more than doubled to 43% this year, and those incidents now average $5.39 million in breach costs.

Tom Jackson, Vice President of Information Technology at Beck Suppliers, Inc., one of Ohio's leading independent fuel suppliers and convenience retail operators, said, "AI is unlocking new opportunities across our business, enabling greater efficiency, innovation, and decision-making. At the same time, the rapid adoption of AI technologies introduces important governance, security, and compliance considerations. To maximize the benefits of AI while protecting sensitive information, we need greater visibility into how these tools are being used across the organization."

PDI Managed AI Prompt Protection helps organizations:

"Organizations are rapidly adopting AI to boost productivity, accelerate decision-making, and achieve better business outcomes," said Ameer Karim, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Security & Network Solutions, PDI Technologies. "At the same time, AI creates new blind spots for security teams. PDI Managed AI Prompt Protection helps organizations gain the visibility, control, and managed expertise needed to enable secure AI adoption at scale."

PDI Managed AI Prompt Protection is the latest addition to the PDI Security & Network Solutions portfolio and reflects its continued investment in helping organizations address emerging AI security, cybersecurity, and networking challenges. Through an ecosystem of proven technologies, strategic industry relationships, and managed expertise, PDI helps organizations drive compliance and secure always-on, complex operating environments, including branded oil, convenience fuel and retail, quick-service restaurants (QSRs), specialty retail, automotive, and other distributed enterprises.
