1. A computing platform, comprising:
at least one processor;
a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and
a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing platform to:
receive, from a user computing device, a request to access a resource on an enterprise organization network;
detect, based on the request, use of a virtual private network (VPN) by the user computing device;
responsive to detecting use of the VPN, extract, from the request to access the resource on the enterprise organization network, information identifying a user associated with the user computing device, a type of VPN and a type of the user computing device;
input, into an artificial intelligence model, the type of VPN and the type of the user computing device;
execute the artificial intelligence model to output a customized notification, wherein the customized notification includes:
identification of the user associated with the user computing device,
identification of the resource on the enterprise organization network, and
instructions to disable the VPN used; and
transmit, to the user computing device, the customized notification, wherein transmitting the customized notification causes display of the customized notification by a display of the user computing device.
