01 Data exposure risks
GenAI apps can inadvertently expose sensitive company data, such as intellectual property, trade secrets, source code, financial records and customer information. Any exposure of this data leads to significant business and compliance risks.
02 Security posture challenges
The proliferation and complexity of GenAI apps make it challenging to identify, categorize and monitor its usage effectively. This impacts the overall security posture and risk exposure.
03 Employee risks and policy issues
The absence of clear GenAI usage policies and technical enablement can lead to employee dissatisfaction, reduced productivity and the potential for employees to circumvent bans or restrictions on GenAI app usage.
04 Expanding AI attack vectors
The widespread availability of public GenAI tools creates new avenues for cybercriminals to exploit, from issuing malicious prompts to accessing and misusing intellectual property, spreading malware and compromising cybersecurity defenses.
