Is Codeium safe for work?

Codeium is an AI code-completion and chat assistant used inside the IDE. Here is where it shows up, and how to see and govern it across your team.

What it is
Codeium is an AI code-completion and chat assistant used inside the IDE.
Where it shows up
In the terminal and the IDE, as a CLI tool and an MCP client, and sometimes the browser.
The data risk
Coding agents read your source, secrets, and internal architecture, and can call tools like Stripe, GitHub, and the filesystem through MCP.

Common questions

How do I see who is using Codeium?
Install Northbeams across your fleet and your first sweep lands within 24 hours, with every Codeium user attributed by name across browser, desktop, CLI, and MCP. No proxy, no MITM cert, no network change.
Can I block Codeium?
Yes. Block, warn, redact, or allow it by team in one click, and coach users toward a sanctioned tool at the DNS layer.
Is Codeium sanctioned or high-risk?
That is your call. Northbeams sorts every tool as sanctioned, unknown, or high-risk and lets you set the policy per team. Codeium sits in the high-risk bucket by default until you decide.
