GenAI is transforming the way we work – making everyday tasks faster and more efficient.
But with convenience comes hidden risks. Employees may unknowingly expose sensitive corporate data when using GenAI tools, creating new avenues for insider threats.
In a recent Forbes Technology Council article, our CEO & Co-founder Camellia Chan explains why the solution is not to ban GenAI in the workplace. Instead, organisations need to fix the risks, not the tool.
Key Highlights from the Article
- Shadow AI creates insider threats: Well-intentioned employees often use GenAI on personal accounts, but this “shadow AI” usage can leak sensitive data outside IT’s visibility.
- Traditional defenses fall short: Software-based tools like DLP and behavioral analytics are essential, but they can miss risks – especially when compromised credentials make malicious activity look legitimate.
- Hardware-level zero trust is the missing piece: Embedding security directly at the physical layer, within the memory storage, enables autonomous, real-time defense. By detecting unusual activity such as mass data transfers – even after a breach – hardware-level security stops threats before data escapes.
- A holistic strategy is needed: The path forward is not banning GenAI but creating a GenAI-aware security strategy that blends governance, employee education, monitoring, and hardware-based protection.
