An employee used his corporate Gemini account to generate fake receipts for reimbursements

Not because he was lying. He just didn't have the real ones

That's when the CISO realized they needed Oximy

Ask an enterprise how many AI tools they use. They say 10. The real number is probably 40+

Most of the risk isn't malicious. People just want to get things done faster. So customer lists end up on free tools with no DPA

The first instinct is to block everything. But people bypass restrictions anyway

The real question: how do you say yes to AI without losing control?

That's Oximy. A control layer for enterprise AI adoption. Track usage, manage spend, enforce governance
