ZeroShare AI Security

Enterprise AI security for VS Code. Protect your AI coding assistants from data leakage by routing traffic through your ZeroShare Gateway.

ZeroShare routes traffic from GitHub Copilot, Claude, Codeium, and other AI tools through your organization's Gateway, automatically detecting and redacting PII while blocking secrets before they leave your network.

Requires ZeroShare Gateway for authentication, policy enforcement, and audit logging.

Features

Gateway-Connected Protection

  • Routes AI traffic through your organization's ZeroShare Gateway
  • Centralized policy enforcement across all developers
  • Audit logging for compliance and visibility
  • Browser-based authentication with your Gateway

Automatic Setup

  • One-click Desktop Agent installation - No manual downloads required
  • Configures VS Code to route AI traffic through the local proxy
  • Prompts for Gateway configuration on first run

Real-Time Scanning

  • PII Redaction: Emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, names, addresses
  • Secrets Blocking: API keys, tokens, passwords, private keys, certificates
  • Policy Enforcement: Gateway-defined security rules

Status Bar Shield

Troubleshooting

Extension shows "Configure Gateway"

  1. Run ZeroShare: Configure Gateway and enter your Gateway URL
  2. Ensure you have a valid Gateway URL from your admin

Extension shows "Not Protected"

  1. Ensure ZeroShare Desktop Agent is running
  2. Check that proxy ports match (default: 8888)
  3. Verify Gateway connectivity

Cannot connect to Gateway

  1. Verify your Gateway URL is correct
  2. Run ./zeroshare-agent --login to re-authenticate
  3. Check network connectivity to the Gateway

AI tools not working
