Because of the incredibly large number of LLMs that exist, and the growing numbers of new ones each and every day, blocking has proven to be a failed strategy. It is near impossible to have a complete, up to date catalogue of which LLMs to block.
Portal26’s Real-time GenAI tool discovery capabilities is designed specifically to find all LLMs, even if not catalogued, to minimize the real risks unsanctioned use brings to the organization as well as discover areas of opportunity.
Portal26's platform enables real-time policy enforcement through instant intervention and education. When employees attempt to access prohibited AI tools or systems, the platform automatically displays popup notifications to inform them of policy violations. Beyond simple blocking, we support organizations in fostering responsible AI use through educational prompts and guidance. Our platform helps you move from mere restriction to active enablement, ensuring employees understand not just what they can't do, but how they can use AI tools effectively and safely.

How big is the problem? The use of unsanctioned Generative AI tools in the workplace is, in a word, exploding. Here are just a few facts and figures:
- 73.8% of ChatGPT accounts in the workplace are non-corporate ones that lack the security and privacy controls of ChatGPT Enterprise. Moreover, the percentage is even higher for Gemini (94.4%) and Bard (95.9%). There is no data for the 1,000s of easily accessible LLM/GPTs currently available for every aspect of work – coding, marketing, finance, HR, presentation development… you name it.
- By 2025, it's estimated that there will be 750 million apps using LLMs.
- ON average 20 new LLMs are created per month – but a staggering 100K+ Derivative LLMs are have been created in 2024 – a rate of just over 15 per hour
