GenAI apps are an emerging source of risk
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.
Unleashing the promise of GenAI apps Requires comprehensive visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI access security?
AI access security is an enterprise framework that provides visibility, risk governance, and data controls over employee interactions with generative AI tools and LLMs. Delivered via cloud security gateways, it enables safe AI adoption while preventing data loss and policy violations.
How does AI access security prevent data loss and IP leakage?
It uses real-time, inline content inspection and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) engines to scan prompts and attachments before they reach external AI models. This automatically blocks sensitive information like PII, proprietary code, and credentials from being exposed to public training sets.
How does AI access security address shadow AI and unauthorized apps?
AI access security continuously monitors network traffic to discover and categorize all AI tools used across an organization. It assesses application risk profiles, allowing security teams to enforce policies like granting read-only access or blocking high-risk tools.
How does AI access security protect against prompt injection and AI-specific threats?
It provides inline threat inspection designed to evaluate both user prompts and model responses for emerging GenAI vulnerabilities. This actively mitigates prompt injection attacks, toxic outputs, and insecure plugins connected to enterprise workflows.
How is AI access security deployed across an enterprise network?
AI access security natively integrates into existing Security Service Edge (SSE) and Next-Generation Firewall architectures. By leveraging existing network gateways, deployment requires no additional endpoint agents or infrastructure changes.
